Danish term or phrase: hentes ad
Apparatet hentes ad andre veje end at fange dyret, hvor apparatet kan flyde til lands, eller at apparatet falder af efter en vis tid for at findes på et senare tidspunkt. Sentence in a patent about a recording device for locating fish.

English translation:in other ways
Explanation:
First of all, this is horrible Danish. Anyway, the way I understand this sentence is this:
"The device can be collected in other ways than by catching the fish; the device may float to the shore, or it may fall of after a while and can be found later."

agree  aha: I have to agree here, too, because "collected by" is the correct translation of "hentes ad". I prefer "collected in other ways", though.
