With buckets and barrels: Primorye residents collect willow grass from the shore in the coastal villages of Andreevka and Zarubino was a great beach of fish. Fish (especially iwashi) surfaced in huge schools. Local residents collected their catch directly from the sand in buckets and barrels. Perhaps the situation was influenced by the characteristics of the currents or the behavior of the predators in the water: mackerel pushed small fish into a closed bay, and they came to panic in shallow water and on the sand. Other natural factors include sudden changes in water temperature, storms, high winds, and accumulations of fish in the nearshore brush that are not active.
