stone mound

stone mound
a Japanese system for catching freshwater fish and shrimps; consists of a mound of 200-900 stones, 2-3 m square at the base, sometimes covered with straw matting. The fish are attracted to the stones as a hiding place. The mound is surrounded by a bamboo screen or net with 2-6 traps attached. Removal of the stones enables the fish to be caught in the traps
