Directions: Visit a fish landing area in your community. Identify the fishing gear used
by the fishermen and conduct interview on how were constructed and operated.

Activity 1
Visit a fishing village. Observe the different techniques and gear employed in catching
fishes and other aquatic resources
1. Why is there a need to get acquainted with the different fishing gear used in
the Philippines?
For us to be able to maintain the production of fishes and it helps us to guide in fish
capture of what will be the gear what we use before we enter the fishing business and it
can help us to be successful businessman in the future.
It was classified by based on the principles of how the fishes or other preys are
captured and to a lesser extent on the gear construction gear materials used.
3. Do you think the kind of gear and the method of operation have a role in a
successful fishing operation? Why?
Yes, because the better the kind of gear, the better the operation will be. Gear that have
a flexible and durable types it can be led us to be a successful fishermen or
businessman.
A gillnet is a wall of netting that hangs in the water column, typically made of
monofilament or multifilament nylon.
Research and analyze by means of the internet additional information on fishing
gear classifications and operations. Analyze how effective this method is for capturing
or gathering fishes.
Fishing gear are classified by Passive and Active. Passive fishing gear are in general
most ancient type of fishing gears. These gears are most suitable for small scale fishing
and are, they are often the gear types used in artisanal fisheries. On the other hand,
Active fishing gears is based on the aimed chase of the target species and combined
with different ways of catching.
