Portuguese term or phrase: malhadeira e cachorro
não entendo exatamente a que se referem, exceto que são métodos de produção de alimentos (o texto não deixa claro se é agricultura, caça ou pesca):

'Depois da introdução das tecnologias dos “brancos”, a produtividade das principais atividades econômicas – caça, pesca e roça – diminuiu significativamente [entre os indígenas]. Inicialmente, sentem-se atraídos pela maior produtividade dos métodos como malhadeira, espingarda e cachorro, mas hoje sabe-se que muitas vezes essa maior eficácia a curto prazo causa um desequilíbrio ecológico e diminui a produtividade a longo prazo."

não encontrei a palavra "malhadeira" no dicionário, e "cachorro" tem muitos sentidos diferentes. alguém entende?

obrigado

Just thought this might be another option, but fishing net is fine.
