On Selectivity Curve of Gillnet
The preceding paper showed that the mesh selectivity, i.e. relative efficiency, of gillnet was expressed as a function of the ratio of mesh size m to body length l in certain ranges of mesh size and length, and that the application of the above method to McCOMBIE and FRY's, and ISHIDA's data gave different master curves according to the groups of ...

Gillnet fishing characteristics in Franciscana Management Areas
The main threat to franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei) is the incidental catches in gillnets. Given the variety of this fleet and the fishing communities in Brazil, the aim of this chapter is to characterize the social-economic, socioenvironment, and ethno-environment aspects of the gillnet activity in the Franciscana Management Areas (FMA) II and ...

Factors Influencing the Stocking of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)
ABSTRACT Predator species of fish play crucial roles in ecosystem balance through top‐down control, a mechanism frequently exploited in biomanipulation to stock predator species. Juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked (n = 52,887) in spring 2023 and 2024 and autumn 2023 to compare stocking efficiency between Recirculation Aquaculture ...

ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For
