content: Edited film: shows the construction process of a moray eel trap as used in the village of Tetua on the atoll Nonuti. The house-like trap takes at least five working days to build and is weighted with a stone. Once fish bait has been added, the trap is lowered by a rope to the bottom of the reef. The trap is retrieved on the following day when an eel has been caught in it.
