shrimp farming
Regarding a shrimp farm: samples taken using an "atarraya".
also can anybody recommend a Sp-Eng site or dictionary regarding fish farming? There's a lot of really technical words here that I am having real problems finding.
thanks!

throw net
I agree with Ltemes: "cast net" is more common than "throw net."
"Fish were sampled using throw nets and lift nets. Not enough water made its way onto the marsh above Rt 146, therefore marsh surface sampling above the gates was not feasible." (http://www.branfordlandtrust.org/sybilcreek/scfish.html)
