Hand-operated net - Tegriami

Japanese: 手操網 - てぐりあみ

A fishing net consisting of a pouch net and wing net with floats and sinkers, and a long drag net following the wing net. It is a drag net similar to a beach seine or a boat seine. It is also called a bottom drag net. The nets are generally small and can be manufactured with little capital, so they have spread throughout the country. The fishing method is to sink the net to the bottom of the sea and drag it around, while the fishing boat is stopped in a fixed position and the net is pulled toward the boat one by one by hand, and finally the net is hauled up on board for the catch. Fishing is carried out in sandy and muddy fishing grounds about one mile along the coast. The catch is mainly bottom fish such as flounder, turbot, sea bream, shrimp, and crab, as well as small fish. The fishing is mainly done by two-man fishing boats steered by oar power.

Japanese:

浮子と沈子のついた囊網･翼網と，翼網に続く長い引網からなる漁網。地引網や船引網に似た引網。底引寄網ともいう。網の規模は概して小さく，少ない資本で製造できるため全国に普及した。漁法は網を海底に沈めて引き回し，漁船を一定位置にとめて網を順々に手操り寄せ，最後に船上に操り揚げて漁獲する。漁労は沿岸一里くらいの砂泥質漁場で行う。漁獲物はおもにカレイ，ヒラメ，タイ，エビ，カニなどの底魚と雑魚である。操業はもっぱら櫓櫂の力で操船する2人乗りの漁船によった。
