GILLNETS AND ENTANGLING NETS

Combined gillnets-trammel nets

07.6.0


These combined gillnets-trammel nets are locally known as Parit Xkitt.


These bottom set nets are composed by two different types of nets. A single gillnet of 22 mm mesh size is above a trammel net so that along with species caught by normal trammel nets, mid-water species such as bogue (Boops boops), mediterranean horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) and little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus) are also caught. Below the single gillnet there is a common trammel net, consisting of three walls of netting, the two outer walls have a mesh size of 140 mm knot to knot, whilst the central net has a constant 22 or 28 mm mesh. They are approximately 3 to 3.5 m deep.


The “Parit Xkitt” is usually set at 4 or 5 p.m. The fishermen come back at the sunrise, around 6 a.m. and then the nets are pulled out.


The main effort is undertaken in waters around 15 to 30m deep. The terrain varies from posidonia meadows to rocky and sandy areas.


They are mainly used from January to October.


Species caught with this type of net include red mullets (Mullus surmuletus), octopus (Octopus vulgaris), cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), species belonging to the genus Scorpaena (Scorpaena spp) and the mid-water species mentioned above.


The product is commercialised fresh and is for local consume.
