Mass capture methods were done not relying on technology but primarily on individual community groups. Whether by seine netting, Fish trap construction and maintenance or human fish drives where the community itself acted as the barrier to corral and capture fish.

Villagers drive fish into the net, which is closed at one end to be pulled in. This type of fishing tradition is carried out across the Asia Pacific, especially by Polynesian peoples. A fishing tradition that literally symbolises the unity and purpose of a community.
