by hand but the use of a net hauler is very common. Gillnets and trammel nets are
used for both fish and cephalopods.
Within the category of hooks and lines, there are two basic types in the area:
handlines and bottom longlines. In these fishing gears the prey is attracted by the use
of baits that are placed on the hooks. Handline is a vertical line that consists of a line
to which is attached a sinker and one or several baited hooks. It is used to catch fish
or cephalopods (Fig. 14.8) and in the area closed to the Gibraltar Strait, mainly in the
Atlantic area outside the Alboran Sea, there is an important artisanal fishery using a
very specific type of handline called “voracera” targeting Pagellus bogaraveo.
Bottom longline is a set longline consisting of a mainline, which is set parallel to
Fig. 14.5 Types of dredges by target species: (a) C. chione and A. tuberculata; (b) D. trunculus
and C. gallina
