In this briefing I try to describe how some fishermen are practicing this \u201cLebsha fishing\u201d in Lake Burullus, Egypt and hence I am not discussing the ill-legality of the said practice.<\/p>\n

In this method, fishermen brings in a biomass of water hyacinth \u2013which is already there in the lake- and place it in a chosen spot which is believed a good fishing place. According to fishermen\u2019s experience, fish will be attracted to the water hyacinth zone as they enjoy the shelter and continue to grow. Fish would enjoy a free access for a period of time as determined by the fishermen\u2019s who confine the chosen area using nets of appropriate mesh that retains the target size of fish inside. Afterwards, the water hyacinth is moved outside the enclosed zone and fish retained inside are captured and the same process is repeated again and again.<\/p>\n
