Trekantnett

Trekantnett is a type of netting system commonly used in Scandinavian countries, particularly in Norway and Sweden, for catching fish and crustaceans. The name "trekantnett" translates to "triangle net" in English, which refers to the typical triangular shape of the nets.

The trekantnett is made of a durable, nylon mesh material that allows fish to enter the net, but prevents them from escaping. The net has a specific design, with a weighted depth and a carefully calibrated opening size to maximize the catch of target species. The treksantnett is often used for netting cod, haddock, and other large fish species.

The use of trekantnett in commercial fishing has both positive and negative impacts on the marine ecosystem. On the one hand, it provides a sustainable way to harvest fish, ensuring a steady supply of fresh seafood for consumption. On the other hand, overfishing and the degradation of marine habitats can occur when trekantnett are used excessively or without proper regulation.

In Norway and Sweden, the use of trekantnett has been tempered by environmental considerations, with strict regulations in place to prevent overfishing and protect sensitive marine species. Efforts are continually being made to modernize and improve the trekantnett, incorporating new technologies and sustainable practices to minimize its impact on the marine environment.
