What is another word for gill net?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈɪl nˈɛt] (IPA) 
A gillnet is a type of fishing net designed to entangle fish by their gills. Gillnets can be used in both freshwater and saltwater environments. However, gill net is also known by other names such as fish trap, fishnet, drift net, and set net. A fish trap is similar to a gill net, but it has a different design. Fishnets are often used synonymously with gill nets. Drift nets consist of a floating structure and can be dragged alongside a boat, covering a wide area in pursuit of fish. Similarly, set nets are stationary and do not move, and they can be positioned to target specific species of fish. Ultimately, these different types of nets are all used for the same purpose - catching fish.
