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. The by-catch of species such as porpoises and dolphins is a problem related to gillnets. can entangle vulnerable seabirds, whales and dolphins. The effects this method has on the ecosystem are largely unknown, but do not appear to have a major impact on benthic habitats and species.
The salmon fisheries in this area are managed, but information on stocks and how measures are complied with is still insufficient. ManagementManagement:
