SQUARE BASE PEARL NET [1 record]

Record 1 2004-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusks, Echinoderms and Prochordates
DEF

A side-loading pearl net forming a pyramid over a square base.

OBS

The terms used for this notion vary, as authors often use the generic term "pearl net" to refer to the square-base net, which is the most common type of pearl net. The other type of pearl net is the round pearl net. Often, they seem to freely describe the notion in words that might not necessarily form a term, such as "square base pearl net" or "square shaped pearl net". Nevertheless, the term "square pearl net" is the most appropriate and the most recognized term to designate this notion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusques, échinodermes et procordés
DEF

Panier japonais à chargement par le côté qui forme une pyramide au-dessus d'une base carrée.

CONT

Le panier d'élevage pyramidal (pearl net) a été préféré aux autres structures de préélevage car il présente des avantages tant au niveau économique que biologique.

OBS

Il semble y avoir confusion fréquente entre «panier japonais» et «panier pyramidal» en français. En fait, le panier pyramidal est un type de panier japonais, sans doute le plus courant, l'autre étant le panier conique.
