Remarks | Traps are used to catch besechaml that move into shallow water at night to feed. According to a Ngiraklang, who is said to be Palau's most knowledgeable fisherman, spawning aggregations are found near the bottom of reef slopes. This occurs on the new moon and remain there for the next four days.This is the best time to do line fishing (Ref. 2928). Also Ref. 10494. |
