drift net
A drift net is a type of fishing net that is used in commercial fishing, which is allowed to drift with the current in the sea or a lake, typically hanging vertically in the water to catch fish by their gills. This method is often used for catching a variety of fish species in large quantities but has been criticized for its potential negative impact on marine ecosystems.
