kalaverkko

1. fishing net, fishnet (net used to catch fish)

• In Finnish, the word kalaverkko or just verkko usually refers to a simple, often flat, catching device with no or scarce supporting structure. Thus the term does not normally comprise e.g. fykes, hand nets or trawls.
• A fishnet may be named according to the type of fish primarily aimed at as catch: muikkuverkko, lohiverkko.
