Flemish term

plankennet

Flemish to English Tech/Engineering Fisheries Coastal fishing
This is a specific Flemish term for a certain type of net. I have no further context than the sentence it appears in:
"Allerhande netten (het plankennet, de drijvende haringnetten, het stroopnet,... ) geven een duidelijk beeld van hoe de verschillende vissoorten gevangen werden."
The text deals with the history of fishing off the West Coast of Flanders.

It seems to be the same as "Bordennet", or ottertrawl.
