Quick answer

A happa net is a fine-mesh net enclosure used in aquaculture to breed, nurse and protect fish fry, fingerlings and broodstock. Farmers use it in hatcheries to keep eggs and hatchlings safe, to stop small fish escaping or being eaten in open ponds, and to sort fish by size or sex, such as male tilapia.
