      Varigomo is a kind of fishing in the Teop area that we do with a net. The net used for it is long and has small meshes. This kind of fishing is done when the tide comes in or when the tide ebbs, that is where we can walk on the reef, this is not in the deep ocean.

      A varigomo o kaku vagana to vaagunaha raara a kave, eara repaa vatete hovo ri maa o iana. A bua too gunagunaha repaa vakao vatatana mi bono buo punete kave, o iana repaa pino en komana kave.

      The varigomo is a kind of fishing where we let the net down and then chase the fish into the net. Two fishermen, the down steppers, walk together in the water, each holding one edge of the net, and then the fish are trapped in the net.
