Ah, bottom trawling uses big nets that scrape the seabed clean, while traditional gear is selective. The conflict is because we trawlers are blamed for depleting the catch for the small boats. But my life on the dock says the real violence starts when politics tells the small fisherman his empty net is all my fault, while the real problem is too many boats of all kinds chasing too few fish. I see it every season—my trawler's hold is also getting lighter, *kuttan*, but they only protest when our boats are in.
