Gill Net

Gill Net Definition

Imagine trying to catch specific items from a cluttered closet where things are stacked from floor to ceiling. Just as you might use a series of shelves to separate and organize these items, allowing you to access exactly what you need, a gill net uses vertical panels of netting to catch fish as they swim by, organized by size. The shelves in your closet act like the netting panels, the floaters keep the net upright like the walls of your closet, and the items you wish to catch mirror the fish, allowing you to efficiently capture or find exactly what you're after amidst the chaos.
