Sovitusverkkoja

Sovitusverkkoja, a Finnish term, translates to "fitting nets" or "adapter nets" in English. This concept refers to a specialized type of fishing gear used primarily in Finnish waters. These nets are designed with specific mesh sizes and configurations to target particular fish species while minimizing the capture of unintended or undersized fish. The construction and use of sovitusverkkoja are often regulated by Finnish fisheries management to ensure sustainable fishing practices and the conservation of fish populations. These regulations typically specify dimensions, materials, and placement of the nets. Sovitusverkkoja are considered a selective fishing method when employed correctly, contributing to responsible resource management. The term itself highlights the adaptable nature of these nets to suit different fishing conditions and target species.
