drift-net fishing

Type of fishing involving very long nets that drift with the winds and currents, thus creating a webbing curtain in which fish are enmeshed. It may result in (a) commercially important species' being unusable when landed owing to a long soak time or damage by predators and (b) incidental by-catch of non-targeted fish and other animals.
