NTR: fyke net about l05 HOT 6 CLOSED

This logic follows the EU specific Metier definitions, level 3 refers to 'Traps' https://vocab.ices.dk/?CodeID=169686
and level 4 (more detailed) refers to 'Fyke nets' https://vocab.ices.dk/?codeguid=68397d52-d86a-4a6c-ad36-1012c0d7c68a

from l05.

Hi @gwemon yes I think a mapping to https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/63/ is a good idea, agree it is quite boad.

Proposing to create a more generic L05 term for 'trap nets' with definition:

Stationary nets (such as Fyke nets, Pound nets) that are used in shallow waters such as coastlines or estuaries. They are fixed to the bottom by anchors, ballast or stakes, and may be used individually or in groups. They often consist of a labyrinth-like chamber into which fish can easily enter, and from which they cannot easily escape. Target species include salmon, trout and eel.

@danibodc we do have a term for passive fishing gears: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/63/ I wonder were you thinking of having a broad/narrow relation of the new term with that one?
I do like the idea to have fishing trap defined at the L05 level because I feel 63 is really too broad.

The term has now been loaded and is live on the NVS:
