Here is Oppian's description of fishing with a "motionless" net: </p> <blockquote> <p>The fishers set up very light nets of buoyant flax and wheel in a circle round about while they violently strike the surface of the sea with their oars and make a din with sweeping blow of poles. At the flashing of the swift oars and the noise the fish bound in terror and rush into the bosom of the net which stands at rest, thinking it to be a shelter: foolish fishes which, frightened by a noise, enter the gates of doom. Then the fishers on either side hasten with the ropes to draw the net ashore. </p> </blockquote> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Norse_mythology" title="Norse mythology">Norse mythology</a> the sea giantess <a href="/wiki/R%C3%A1n" title="Rán">Rán</a> uses a fishing net to trap lost sailors.

In the 1950s they were adopted worldwide, replacing nets made from cotton or hemp that were used before. The introduction of synthetic fibres in fishing gear from around 1950 changed a way of using natural materials that goes back several thousands of years. In the following decades (for example in Norway in 1975, 95% of all fishing gear was made of synthetic fibre), the new synthetic materials conquered the hegemony in net fishing.<sup
