A trolling Fish Aggregating Device (FAD), specially designed for trolling and recreational fishing, has been deployed off Th. Veymandoo.
The Ministry of Fisheries team deployed the FAD yesterday, 5 miles south of Th. Veymandoo. The FAD number is L09V02. This is the third FAD established in Th. Atoll. Of the other two FADs, the Dhiyamigili FAD is located 6 miles northeast of the island. The other FAD is located 4.5 miles north of Buruni in the same atoll.
Trolling FADs, established at a distance of between 3 to 6 miles around the islands, are specially designed for trolling and sport fishing. The trolling FAD is designed with a light visible from afar and a radar reflector to easily identify its location.
