Diversifying risk exposure to reduce impacts of typhoons through squid pot fishing
Squid pot, locally known as “bubo pangnokos”, is a regular receptacle device mainly to catch squid in coastal waters. The shape of the gear is semi-cylindrical and is generally made of polyethylene netting mounted on a bamboo frame. It is provided with a non-return valve, which allows easy entrance but a difficult exit. The device is baited with squid roe mounted on young coconut leaves, place inside the pot. It is hung on a bamboo buoy and anchored on depths of 8 to 15 fathoms in such a way that it lies midway of the water depth.
