oheissa

oheissa is a term that refers to a type of fishing net used in some coastal regions. These nets are typically deployed from small boats and are characterized by their specific construction and method of use. The design of an oheissa net often involves a mesh size and overall dimensions tailored to the particular fish species being targeted and the local marine environment.

The deployment of an oheissa net generally requires at least two individuals. One person operates the boat, maneuvering it into position, while the other manages the net itself. The net is cast or spread into the water in a way that aims to encircle schools of fish. Once the net is in place, it is allowed to remain for a period of time, giving the fish time to become entangled in its mesh.

After the fishing period, the net is carefully hauled back into the boat. The success of the oheissa fishing method depends on factors such as the abundance of fish, the skill of the fishermen, and prevailing weather and sea conditions. This traditional fishing technique continues to be practiced in certain communities, contributing to local livelihoods and the broader fishing industry.
