Ka mārō te kupenga, ka takahia te kahararo. Ki te nui rawa ngā ika, ka hāpaia anō te kahararo ka tukuna ētehi o ngā ika, kei pakaru hoki te kupenga, kia hua tonu ai hoki te ika. Ka rite te nui o ngā ika, ka kau ngā tāngata tui haere i te kahararo ki te kaharunga (NIT 1995:77). / The net was stretched out and the bottom edge was held down by treading on it. If there were too many fish, the bottom edge was lifted up and some of the fish were released, lest the net break, and so that the fish would continue to be plentiful. When the amount of fish was appropriate, the people swam along tying the bottom edge to the top net edge.
