Ancient Fishing Methods Still Prevalent in Malta Precisely as did their forebears in biblical days, the inhabitants of the quaint fishing villages of Mar-sa Mar-sa and Zurrico, on the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean, today follow the life of the fisherman for . their livelihood. Many of the old fishing methods employed in the early days are in use today. The fishermen use a peculiar type of trap attached to their boat, instead of the nets commonly com-monly employed. Fishermen of Malta are happy, now that the Allies dominate the Mediterranean. No longer do they have to fear the Axis aerial attacks at-tacks to which they were subjected subject-ed day after day before the rout of Rommel in Africa.
