Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) equipment

A fish aggregating (or aggregation) device (FAD) is a man-made object used to attract ocean going pelagic fish such as marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi (dolphin fish).

 

They usually consist of buoys or floats tethered to the ocean floor with concrete blocks.

 

Fish are fascinated with floating objects. They aggregate in considerable numbers around objects such as drifting flotsam, rafts, jellyfish, floating seaweed ... FADs!
