You can see white lines on the water. I suppose those are fishing nets but probably you folks have other ideas.

I think they're stone fish traps. The "shaft" of the arrow funnels fish down to the "arrowhead" as the tide retreats (it must be a tidal river) - the trailing edge of the arrowhead has gaps for the fish to get in and the leading edge is solid to strand the fish when the tide is out.

Here is a double-heart fish-trap in Taiwan



Cheers

Frank
