A fyke net is a type of fish trap [that] consists of [a] long cylindrical netting bag[, ] usually with several netting cones fitted inside the netting cylinder to make entry easy and exit difficult. This net is then mounted on rigid rings or other rigid framework and fixed on the sea bed by anchors, ballast or stakes. It also has wings or leaders to help guide the fish towards the entrance of the bag. They are commonly used in estuaries or inshore shallow water. 2, record 1, English, - fyke%20net
