Drift nets are stationary nets designed to capture drifting organisms, i.e. those transported via water current not at the expense of the fi sh’s energy reserves. The chapter provides brief description of gear principles, modifications, history and environments, in which the gear is used. Further, the ways in which drift nets are used to infer fish movement are described and several case studies discussed. The chapter also provides a guide through spatial and temporal aspects of drift nets sample preparation and net design with advices on data interpretation and statistical analysis.
