The net depth measurement of handling nets

Dip nets and fry dip nets (machine-made net – sewn)

• the value depth in the table states the depth of the net after attaching to the frame
• measurement procedure – rule is placed across the frame and second rule forms right angle to the center of the net
• vertical rule indicates the net depth in cm
• the table values are approximate and may differ slightly in same type of nets
• the sizes are in cm

Hand net – dip net – fry dip net – landing net (hand-made and machine-made net)

• the depth values in the table states the net depth before attaching to the frame
• the depth measurement – the center mesh of the bottom is taken
• the net is slightly stretched and aligned so perimeter mesh is on the same level
• the net is laid taut on the rule and measured
• the table values are approximate and may differ slightly in same type of nets
• the sizes are in cm
