Fishing around Sargassum bed.
The Sargassum bed is an important place for feeding, laying eggs and nurturing for fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other various sea animals. Therefore, Sargassum beds are excellent fishing spots for coastal dwelling people. Gill nets are cast during high tides, and the fish caught in the net are collected at low tide. A woman met at the beach exclaimed excitedly "Today is a bumper catch!" and proudly showed off the mullet she had caught.
