8.2.3.11 Fish Aggregation Device
Fish Aggregation Device (FAD) is a man-made object that is used to attract fishes. It consists of buoys or floats tethered to the floor of the water body with concrete blocks. FAD's attract fish for numerous reasons that vary by species. Submerged bundles of twigs or branches of trees make attractive hiding places for fishes. The fishermen can catch the aggregated fishes easily by using small scoop net. This method is practiced in certain downstream areas of the river. |
