Extra Buoyancy and Mesh Size as The Measuring Indicators for the Effectiveness and Selectivity of Purse Seine in Sampang Waters of Madura

open access: yesResearch Journal of Life Science, 2016
Fishing gear effectiveness is a main parameter to measure effiency rate of fishing operation. At same time, fishing gear selectivity becomes a main consideration in preserving fish resources.

Design and Operation of “Siklob”, a Mechanised Falling Gear Operated in Northern Iloilo, Philippines

open access: yesAsian Fisheries Science, 2021
Fisheries in the Philippines is multispecies, and this is seen with the wide variety of fishing gears used in major and minor fishing grounds in the country. These gears constantly face modification and development to improve catch quality, quantity, and

Fisheries management based on gear selectivity of a tropical reservoir, Lake Nasser, Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2020
Lake Nasser, a large man-made tropical reservoir, is located in the southern part of Egypt. The lakes’ fisheries have undergone a steady decrease during the last 10 years obscuring its potential for sustainability. Fisheries assessment study based on the

Trap Happiness and Catch Bias in Sea Lamprey Traps

open access: yesFishes, 2019
Sampling fish by trapping can lead to biased conclusions about a population. We used catch data to assess differences between two types of traps for adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), submerged-funnel traps and studded-tile traps, which are angled ...

Comparing handline and trolling fishing methods in the recreational pelagic fishery in the Gulf of Oman

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2019
The choice of fishing gear and catching strategy should be taken into consideration in the management of fish stocks. Here, paired fishing trials in a pelagic recreational fishery compared the catch composition, catch rate and size selectivity between ...

Compensatory recruitment, dynamic habitat, and selective gear present challenges to large‐scale invasive species control

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Control of long‐established invasive species to aid threatened native species presents major logistic and economic challenges. Invasive common carp (Cyprinus carpio) recently accounted for over 90% of the fish biomass in Utah Lake (Utah, USA), driving ...

Assessment of a small-scale fishery: Lane Snapper (Lutjanus synagris) using a length metric method.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Small-scale fisheries are hard to assess because of the limited availability of data. Therefore, a method requiring easy-to-obtain catch-data is important for the assessment and management of small-scale fisheries.

Using tickler chains to promote more environmentally benign trawls in an Australian penaeid fishery

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries, 2023
There has been an increasing emphasis on reducing the environmental impacts of penaeid trawls by modifying their anterior sections. In one Australian estuary, this approach has culminated in a new generic trawl comprising a slightly smaller mesh size ...

Refining tickler chains for penaeid trawls

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries, 2022
Tickler chains are simple additions to the ground gears of benthic trawls that can improve the catches of some target species, albeit with considerable variability.
