Figure 13. Three out of four etchings published by Jean-Pierre Louis Laurent Houël (1782), showing many details of a
bluefin tuna trap in Trapani (Sicily, Italy). The top image shows two views of a set trap and some gears, while the
second and third images shows a “mattanza”, with fishermen engaged in harvesting the tunas, while the trap owner and
his rich hosts were watching the fishery.
