Tatekiriami - Tatekiriami

Japanese: 建切網 - たてきりあみ

A large, ribbon-shaped net used to enclose a school of fish from the seabed to the surface and catch them. Sinkers are attached to the bottom of the net, and the length of the net is roughly the same as the water depth. Most fishing methods use bays. First, the net is set up in a semicircle at the mouth of the bay and inside the bay to block the escape route of migratory fish that have entered the bay, and then fishing boats enter the inside of the net and catch fish using seine nets, set nets, gill nets, and landing nets. Due to the characteristics of this fishing method, it is also called a "blocking net." In fishing grounds that are not blessed with bays, the fish are first set up by the net boat around the school of fish and then caught. The characteristics of kenkiri net fishing are that at least two or more types of fishing nets are used in combination, and although there are differences depending on the fishing nets used inside the kenkiri net and the type of fish caught, the scale of operation is larger than other net fisheries.

Japanese:

魚の群れを海底から水面まで仕切って囲み，漁獲する帯状の大網。網裾には沈子（いわ）がつき，建てる網の丈はほぼ水深に準ずる。漁法は湾を利用したものが多い。まず湾口･湾内で網を半円状に建て回し，湾に入った回遊魚の退路を塞ぎ，次に網の内部に漁船を乗り入れ，引網，敷網，刺網，タモ網などで漁獲する。この漁法の特徴から〈塞ぎ網〉ともいう。湾に恵まれない漁場では，まず魚群を網船で建て回してから漁獲する。建切網漁の特徴は，最少でも2種以上の漁網を併用すること，また建切網内部で用いる漁網や捕らえる魚の種類によって違いがあるが，他の網漁に比べ操業規模が大きいこと，である。
