        In former times we Teop people fished with several kinds of nets that we made from the fibres of the breadfruit tree and from vines that we actually call net vines. These kinds of nets are the turtle net, the kakavei and the kave baoru, and the seige, seisei, varigomo, sakosakopo, and the baesusu net, and a kind of net that we made from spider webs for scooping up the little kereepana fish. Today we make nets from the plastic strings of the white people.
