        This net does not have cowrie shells (attached to it), but the fruit of the sea poison tree that are made into floaters. A single person can fish with this net. We put up two mangrove poles (in the water), and then we tie the two edges of the net to it. We can go away and leave the net by itself and then come back later and check it again. The fish that are caught in the net are those fish that travel, that is the hoohoa needlefish, the ponpon needlefish, the mullet, and the young trevally.
