bed. Fishing with shallow-water tangab is done only during calm seas, weak winds, and no storms. It is usually smaller than the deep-water variant. It is set at a shallower depth, about 3-4 m. The posts of tangab are made of bamboo.
Small tangab operators usually use non-motorized boats. The nets are dropped only during periods of strong water currents usually around the full moon and the new moon. During an operation, the fishermen drop the tangab net in time for the flood tide, a few hours before the night of the high tide. At high tide, the fishermen haul the nets up to harvest the catch. Before the tidal current reverses direction, fishermen may reverse the nets to catch fish during the ebb tide. The catch is sorted, brought to shore, washed, picked, and sold.
