Lampuki netting
Lampuki Netting[edit | edit source]
Lampuki netting is a traditional fishing method used in the Mediterranean region to catch lampuki, also known as dorado or mahi-mahi. This article provides an overview of lampuki netting, including its history, technique, and environmental impact.
History[edit | edit source]
Lampuki netting has been practiced for centuries in the Mediterranean, particularly in countries such as Malta, Italy, and Spain. The technique has been passed down through generations, with fishermen using their knowledge and experience to perfect the art of lampuki netting.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Lampuki netting involves the use of large nets, known as lampuki nets or lampara nets, which are specifically designed to catch lampuki fish. These nets are typically set up in the open sea, away from the coast, where lampuki fish are known to migrate during specific seasons.
The nets are made of strong and durable materials, such as nylon or polyethylene, and are equipped with floats and weights to keep them in position. Lampuki nets are usually set up in a way that creates a barrier or wall in the water, forcing the fish to swim towards the net.
Once the fish encounter the net, they get entangled in its mesh, making it easier for fishermen to haul in their catch. Lampuki netting is often done during the night when the fish are more active and easier to catch.
Environmental Impact[edit | edit source]
While lampuki netting is an effective fishing method, it can have some negative environmental impacts. The use of large nets can result in bycatch, where non-target species are unintentionally caught. This can include endangered or protected species, leading to potential harm to marine ecosystems.
To mitigate these impacts, regulations and guidelines have been put in place in many countries to ensure sustainable lampuki netting practices. These include the use of selective fishing gear, such as mesh size restrictions, to reduce bycatch and protect non-target species.
