Does incorporating gear selectivity during macroscale investigations of fish growth reduce size-selective sampling bias in parameter estimates? [PDF]
Understanding of fish growth, the spatial variability in individual growth, and the potential drivers of such variability is a fundamental component of many ecological investigations.

Catch pattern and size selectivity for a gear designed to prevent fish injuries during the capture process in a North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery [PDF]
In the North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod and haddock, the interest on fishing gear designs that preserve fish quality and welfare has grown. However, the gear configurations tested so far imply practical challenges, therefore, more

A Review of Studies on Set Gear Selectivity in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
The Adriatic Sea is one of the world’s most heavily exploited areas, with a large number and variety of commercial important species caught and a wide range of fishing methods employed. In this basin, small-scale fisheries (SSFs), performed by fishing

Direct estimates of gear selectivity from multiple tagging experiments [PDF]
A new method is introduced for estimating selectivity of fishing gear from tagging data in which data from many experiments are combined. Selectivity is modeled as a multiplicative function of length and experiment effects using a generalized linear ...

Gear selectivity and sample size effects on growth curve selection in shark age and growth studies [PDF]
The effects of gear selectivity and sample size on growth model selection for shark length-at-age data was investigated using simulated data sets for dusky (Carcharhinus obscurus) and Atlantic sharpnose (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae) sharks. Simulated data

A Study on the Selectivity of Different Fishing Gear
The selectivity of fishing gears plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems and fisheries sustainability. Through a comprehensive examination of trawl nets, gill nets, and longlines, this paper delves into the factors influencing selectivity, including gear design, selectivity criteria, selectivity terminologies, selection ...

Trade-offs between gear selectivity and logistics when sampling nekton from shallow open water habitats: a gear comparison study [PDF]
We compared logistical issues and the catch composition, density, and size structure of nekton samples collected with a drop sampler, benthic sled, and a fine mesh cast net in shallow non-vegetated habitats of Galveston Bay, Texas.

When is enough, enough? Quantifying trade-offs between information quality and sampling effort for fishing gear selectivity data. [PDF]
There is general pressure throughout the world’s fisheries for the industry to have greater involvement not only in the development of fishing gears but also in the testing and documentation of their effect.
