      Gillnets are one of the most commonly used fishing gears in both marine and inland waters. Different colour filament nettings are often used in gillnets. However, the effect of gillnet colour on catch efficiency is unclear for most fisheries. Therefore, in this study we investigated the effect of gillnet colour on the catch efficiency in pearlspot (Etroplus suratensis) fishery in Vembanad lake, ...

      Pots are widely used fishing gear type for targeting different crustacean and fish species. Pot entrance size and design are among the most important technical parameters that influence the catch efficiency of certain species. An optimal pot entrance design should allow an efficient entry for the target species while preventing subsequent escape. The tropical estuary pot fishery targeting mud crab ...
