The Basnig, a bag net for pelagic fishing in the Philippines / Santos B. Rasalan and D. V. Villadolid

Includes bibliographical references

The role that labor plays in any fishing enterprise or business cannot be over-emphasized especially in the Philippines where mechanized fishing is not yet well in vogue. Fishing boat operators may fail not only because of poor catches but because of failure in the proper management of labor, or of noncooperation on the part of the fishermen. This is especially true of those engaged in pelagic fishing with such gear as the talacop2 and sapiao3, the operation of each of which requires no less than 20 and 35 fishermen, respectively.
