Tech/Engineering - Fisheries / Coastal fishing
Flemish term or phrase: plankennet
This is a specific Flemish term for a certain type of net. I have no further context than the sentence it appears in:
"Allerhande netten (het plankennet, de drijvende haringnetten, het stroopnet,... ) geven een duidelijk beeld van hoe de verschillende vissoorten gevangen werden."
The text deals with the history of fishing off the West Coast of Flanders.
