Fishing on Silba

Summary/Abstract: From olden times fishermen from Silba have used different techniques of fishing, depending on weather conditions and season: nets, hooks, tridents and traps. Men matted traps from thatch and used them in the summertime. Hooks, tied on a line and a cane stick, are used when fishing on the shore, or from a boat on the sea. Several hooks on a line (parangal) are used for fishing from a boat in motion, and so is the trident, but in the nighttime. The most significant is fish hunting with nets of different forms and names. The catch is sorted according to quality and size, and then better fish is taken to the market of Zadar, and the other is consumed or sold on the island and the neighboring island of Olib.
