Lobster's fishing first step: Releasing the Fishing net

The lobster fishing net (gillnet) used by the fisherman is made up of four parts, as shown in the picture.

1- Plastic floats for the detection of the net from both sides

2- A mass attached to the rope after about 1.5 meters of rope from both sides

3- A rope with a length of 100-150 meters, depending on the water depth on both sides.

4- A fishing net with a mesh size of 70 mm and a length of 400 meters.

When the captain detects a type of marine rock bottom with the echo sounder in a depth between 90-150 m, as shown in the picture, he orders the fisherman to release the net (check the video below) and marks the location with GPS coordinates.
