Question

which commercial fishing technique is associated with excessive bycatch?

Answer 1

The Drag Net technique of fishing, often results in excessive catch or ‘over fishing’.

Commercial fishing using Drag nets (also known as Seine Nets) are carried out by two or more boats that ‘drag’ a net stretching between them, with the net’s bottom sweeping the sea bed (held down by weights) and the top, held near the surface by floats. This method in affect, traps all creatures in its path, most of which could be ‘unwanted’ catch.
