A fishing method whereby a long main line (40-100 km long) with transverse lines with hooks with bait is expanded. The line floats on buoys in the water column.   and gillnetsGillnets:
A fishing technique whereby passing fish get caught in the meshes with their gills. The net stands vertically on the bottom or hangs on buoys in the water column.

So far, this has had a positive effect, with little impact on the ecosystem. This certification also prohibits the use of native cichlids as live bait.

Nile perch is regulated by some management measuresManagement measures:
For fisheries, management measures can affect the amount of fish that can be caught, the type of gear that can be used and where fishing is and is not allowed., but these are not sufficiently effective to prevent illegal activities.
