It is practiced with gillnets with mesh sizes greater than 25 mm and 200 to 1 000 m long with 0.5 to 2 m height. Sovy is generally practiced during high water and the nets are set down around 3 p.m. and will be brought back the next day around 8 a.m. This technique is favorable in all study areas where the target species are numerous and very varied. This technique uses not only gillnets but also fins, masks and snorkels for Naso fishing. 3.3.4 “Serisery” The new fishing technique is introduced by non-native fishermen in the rural municipality of Ampisikinana since 2009. This fishing is generally practiced during neap water. To do this, place the large mesh nets during high water then closed, and then tightened with small mesh nets and will be brought back during low water. This fishing technique requires the use of the following equipment (Figure 1) as gillnets of 25 mm mesh measuring 1000 m minimum length with 0.5 m to 2 m height, mask, tubas, fins and rifles. The use of “serisery” in all study areas in 2018 and 2019 (Figure 11). Figure 11 Use of Serisery in (a) 2018 and (b) 2019
