General prohibitions regarding this gear are specified in article 11. Closed seasons for the use of this gear during day or night-time and other specific prohibitions are set in articles 12 and 13. More specifically, fishing with this gear during night and daytime within the entire national territory is prohibited for a number of fishing areas listed down in art. 12. In like manner, article 13 lists down fishing areas in which fishing with "gri-gri" nets during night-time is prohibited for the entire year.
