Effect of gillnet mesh size on the capture probability and capture patterns in the Asian paddle crab (Charybdis japonica) fishery. [PDF]
HeliyonIn the Asian paddle crab (Charybdis japonica) gillnet fishery in the Yellow Sea, China, the minimum mesh size (MMS) regulation has been of a major importance due to high bycatch rates of undersized crabs. In this study, we evaluated how gillnet mesh size

Juveniles and undersized fish in small-scale fisheries: gillnets are not less implied than trawling
Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2021 Of particular concern in commercial fishing catch is 'size bycatch', i.e., the death of early stages of resources that would reach a marketable value when they turn into adults.

Evidence of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) depredation on fish caught in gillnets
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bycatch is a major global threat to marine megafauna and occurs in nearly all fishing fleets, including small-scale fisheries that use gillnets. Gillnets represent a threat to endangered air-breathing megafauna, who incidentally entangle in bottom-set ...
