This book explains the fundamentals of netmaking. It describes how to hand braid nets, how to cut and clean machine–made netting and covers the main knots and hitches used in net work. It also covers such areas as the hanging of netting to ropes and practice in netmaking and repair. The book also includes a number of practical exercises (with correct answers) and will, therefore, be an exceptional aid in training in this vital aspect of commercial fisheries throughout the world. The author′s earlier book How to Make and Set Nets has proved to be a popular classic for more than a quarter of a century and this book will be an equally valuable companion.
