Longline fishing uses a single fishing line pulled behind the [[boat]] with many hooks attached. Driftnetting is the use of a fishing net suspended in the water which is later retrieved. Trawling is the use of a fishing net dragged behind a boat on the ocean floor. For some non-fish species such as [[crab]], cages known as 'pots' are used and are left in the water with bait, to be later retrieved by the fishermen.
