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.

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

Any facility used to culture scallops, such as culture nets, longlines or grow-out bags.

OBS

"Containment structure" means cage support systems, net cages, bag cages, tanks, troughs, raceways, natural or man made ponds, trays or other structures used to contain aquatic plants or fish for purposes of aquaculture.

OBS

The term "containment structure" is used most specifically in the environmental domain, from the perspective that such structures prevent the cultivated species from escaping and competing with wild ones in their natural habitat. As such, it is often used in the context of salmon culture, for example, but not as often in scallop culture.

[Le terme] «structure de retenue» [...] semble surtout utilisé dans le domaine de l'environnement, de la perspective que ces structures empêchent les espèces cultivées de s'échapper et de faire concurrence aux espèces sauvages dans leur habitat naturel. On l'observe notamment beaucoup en salmoniculture, mais relativement peu en pectiniculture.
