Soft fishing or “sleeping art” concerns fishing devices which are put to rest in the water (for a few minutes or hours) and then dragged out. All of these technics are considered less impactful for the environment as they produce very little waste due to the fact that they offer the possibility to throw under-grown fish back into the water. | Soft fishing or “sleeping art” concerns fishing devices which are put to rest in the water (for a few minutes or hours) and then dragged out.

==== | ==== “Purse seine” fishing ==== | ||
:The seine is a very large net, often 1km long on 200 meters heigh, floating at the surface of the water and equipped with weights at its base. Thanks to a small boat, the net is wrapped around a group of fish and closed at its base, like a purse. Being a soft method, the fish is captured and scooped out of the water without being injured. | :The seine is a very large net, often 1km long on 200 meters heigh, floating at the surface of the water and equipped with weights at its base.

==== | ==== Line fishing<ref>With/without Trolling</ref> ==== | ||
:As its name indicates, line fishing involves fishing with a line equipped with one or multiple hooks. Trolling therefore involves dragging one or a number of these fishing lines from a boat through the water. This method insures great quality fish and allows unwanted fish to be thrown back into the water alive and in a good state. It also implies that the fishery is of a relatively small scale. | :As its name indicates, line fishing involves fishing with a line equipped with one or multiple hooks.

==== | ==== Trap fishing<ref>In french: Pêche aux casiers</ref> ==== | ||
:A trap is constituted of a rigid structure covered with a net. It allows fish and crustaceans to be captured without being injured and implies that the fishery is of a relatively small scale. | :A trap is constituted of a rigid structure covered with a net.
