Regarding a shrimp farm: samples taken using an "atarraya".

agree George Rabel: Eso es. A cast net. La definición de Eurodicatum no es del todo correcta, porque la profundidad del agua no tiene nada que ver. Se utiliza también en el mar lanzada desde embarcaciones

  -> en realidad, esa definición era del DRAE y uno se imagina cuantos miembros de la Academia serán pescadores.... LOL! muchas gracias :>)
agree Ariel Nuncio: See my note (below).

throw net

Explanation:
I agree with Ltemes: "cast net" is more common than "throw net."

"Fish were sampled using throw nets and lift nets. Not enough water made its way onto the marsh above Rt 146, therefore marsh surface sampling above the gates was not feasible." (http://www.branfordlandtrust.org/sybilcreek/scfish.html)
