Chinese fishing nets (Cheena vala) are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as "Chinese fishing nets" in India, the more formal name for such nets is "shore operated lift nets".

Classic Thai fishing trap. This is the nets at low tide. At high tide the water level is just under the horizontal beams in the middle of the nets.
Pound nets consist of a fence leader that interrupts the movements of target species and a heart that funnels fish into the trap (pound) via a no return mesh tunnel. The series of nets are anchored to the bottom perpendicular to shore and are set in nearshore areas, with depth often increasing toward the pound.
The netting usually reaches above the waterline with the pound open at the surface. Pound nets are harvested by concentrating the catch in one corner and removing it with a dip net. The leaders may be as long as 1,300 feet (400 meters) with pounds measuring 160 square feet.
Risks to Sea Turtles
Populations of loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and leatherback sea turtles are at risk in areas where pound net fishing is abundant, such as the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters.
Sea turtles may become entangled in any portion of the pound net, most commonly around their head and front flippers. Entanglements can result in bodily injury or drowning.
Entrapment occurs when a sea turtle finds its way into a pound net but cannot get out.
Sea turtles may also become pinned against the netting in a fast moving current and drown if they cannot free themselves.
Risks to Marine Mammals
Small coastal cetacean species, such as bottlenose dolphins, can become entrapped and or entangled in pound nets.
The mesh netting of leaders can act like a gillnet and entangle dolphins. Because the nets are often at or near the surface, cetaceans may be able to breathe until they are released. Once an animal is caught, stress may lead to bodily injury, with strong currents often complicating entanglements.
Bycatch Reduction
Regulations require modified leaders (composed of stiffer materials) to be set more than 10 feet from the low waterline during the summer to reduce turtle bycatch in Virginia. Use of stiffer materials in the leaders has likely lowered dolphin entanglement as well.

Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village in the South Eastern Region of Malta, with a population of 3,600.
The village’s name comes from marsa, which means "port" and xlokk, which is the local name for south east.
The word is related to the name for the dry sirocco wind that blows from the Sahara, comparable to the equivalent Catalan word, "xaloc".
The village is known for the Marsaxlokk Market, a large market which takes place around the whole village on Sundays and tourist market all days during the week.
The inhabitants of the village are called the Xlukkajri and are historically fishermen.

Peter is trapped in a fishing net. Oleg doesn't want to help him because he smells of fish. He asks his friend Paddy www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/
for advice.
Oleg's best friend Paddy gave him some good advice on how to rescue Peter from the fishing nets.
Pinch the nose, and spray Peter with perfume.
PETER:
Oleg....you are back again. I missed you so much (tears in his eyes).
I thought you were going to leave me alone.
OLEG:
Of course I won't leave you alone, you know that.
I think the fish smell is nasty, so I asked Paddy if he can help me. He's a wise bear friend and he had a good idea:
Putting a peg on my nose and spraying you with perfume.
I brought a spray can. The spray has a pine scent.
Are you ready Peter????
PETER:
Yep!
OLEG:
1...2...3...Oleg sprays and a lovely misty pine scent surrounds Peter.
PETER: (sings)
O pine tree, oh pine tree how wonderful are thy branches
We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
OLEG:
Peter....it's not Christmas yet, we have to wait several months for it.
PETER:
But...it smells so much like Christmas
OLEG:
I agree...the smell gives a Christmas feeling
I have to say you don't smell anymore, so I'm releasing you from the fishing net.
PETER:
Thank you Oleg...I love you so much!
OLEG:
You should thank Paddy ...he came up with the idea of the peg and the perfume spray.
PETER:
Thank you so much dear ol....eh...Paddy
I love you very much

Do you also need some color these days? That was an evening walk at the small port of Finiki, Karpathos. The fishermen had laid out their nets on the pier. A beautiful color contrast to the blue of the sea.
Every now and then I love creating circles, and in this case, they reminded me of the glass baubles (floats) associated with the sea!
Commercial fishing ain't all glamour and big money. Back in port, ya gotta check out and repair yer equipment, including them long-ass nets.

Seaweed (nori) nets, Japan.
Apparently seaweed has been farmed in Japan since the late 17th century and in some of areas of the coastline, you can see these nets and bamboo poles for gathering seaweed for kilometers.
From the archives: Japan, 2017.
If you'd like to see more of my images from that trip, and my trip to the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, take a look at my Japan album.
These are EPIC PEOPLE :O
If you are not there, it's manly because I've probably completely forgotton who you are.And that's ONLY because my memorie is a bitch D:
You guys are the shiz-nets of epic-ness. If you stop being so - I shall punch you :)
KIDDING :D
E' passato quasi un anno dal mio viaggio in Madagascar ed ho ancora molto materiale. Tempo permettendo, vorrei fare un po' di sintesi, verificando quali immagini risultano più interessanti. Qualsiasi commento, anche e soprattutto critico, è il benvenuto.
It 's been almost a year since my trip to Madagascar and I still have a lot of material. Time permitting, I would like to do some synthesis, verifying which images are more interesting. Any comments, even critical, are welcome.
