- LC Subject
- Salmon
- Description
- More profitable means of taking salmon are found in the gill net, the purse seine, and the fish trap. The gill net is stretched partially across the channel of the river or run out in front of the fish as they are moving up stream. They become entangled in the meshes of the net, which holds them fast until they are hauled in. The purse seine is used extensively on large bodies of water, such as Puget Sound. A very long seine is used which is circled about a run of salmon and then drawn together at the bottom, is then hauled in.
