Rekikäverkkojen

Rekikäverkkojen refers to a type of fishing gear used in Finland. It is a passive fishing method that utilizes nets. The term "rekikäverkkojen" is a plural form, with "rekiverkko" being the singular. These nets are typically anchored and left in the water for a period, allowing fish to swim into them. The design and mesh size of rekikäverkkojen can vary depending on the target species and the fishing location, often in lakes and coastal waters.

The use of rekikäverkkojen is regulated by Finnish fishing laws, which specify mesh sizes, net lengths, and seasons to ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect fish populations. These regulations aim to prevent overfishing and minimize bycatch. Traditional fishing methods like rekikäverkkojen are part of Finland's cultural heritage and continue to be practiced by both commercial and recreational fishermen. The effectiveness of this gear relies on understanding fish behavior and the aquatic environment.
