Stick held dipnet fishery

Japanese: 棒受網漁業 - ぼううけあみぎょぎょう（英語表記）stick held dipnet fishery

A type of seine fishing. A bamboo pole called a mukodake is attached to one side of a square or trapezoidal net to support it on the water surface, and a sinking rope is attached to the other side to keep it submerged. The entire net is supported by two outrigger rods attached at right angles to both ends of the mukodake, and iron rings are attached at appropriate intervals to both sides of the net with arrow ropes passed through them. Eight or so drag ropes are attached to the rock ropes, which are kept inside the boat. The target school of fish is guided onto the net by scattering bait and turning on fish-attracting lights at night, and when the time is right, the arrow ropes on both sides are tightened and the drag ropes are raised at the same time, bringing all four sides of the net above the water and surrounding the school of fish.

Japanese:

敷網漁業の一種。方形あるいは台形の網の1辺に向竹（むこうだけ）と呼ばれる竹をつけて水面に支え，反対側にはいわ(沈子)綱をつけて沈めておく。網全体を向竹の両端に直角にとりつけた2本の張出しざおで支え，網の両わきは適当な間隔で鉄輪をつけて矢綱を通し，いわ綱には8本ほどの引綱をつけ，船内に保持しておく。撒餌（まきえ）をしたり，夜間集魚灯をつけたりして，網の上に対象魚群を誘導し，ころあいをみて，両わきの矢綱を締め，同時に引綱をあげて，網の四方をすべて水上に出し，魚群を包囲する。
