Small-scale Fishing with Driftnets
Author: Ludvik KarlsenPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251025253
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
Driftnetting offers considerable advantages over anchored or bottom-set gillnetting as it can be conducted by artisanal fishermen without any mechanical assistance and regardless of the water depth. The paper provides guidance for ypgrading of fishing technology in relation to gillnetting with emphasis on the needs of developing fisheries, advantages and disadvantages of various gear materials and appropriate fishing methods and technology for optimizing fish capture and fishing operations with driftnets. Simple and easily understood drawings of driftnet fishing gear and methods are provided for the benefit of the fishermen themselves. For teaching and training purposes, there are technical details and cacluations for rigging of driftnets. Information is provided on gear and methods used in some well-known driftnet fisheries in Europe and the Far East. Particular attention is given to the selction and calculation of material needed to construct a driftnet and the importance of safe operation.

Fish Catching Methods of the World
Author: Otto GabrielPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470995637
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
In the sixteen years since the last edition of Von Brant’s classic work was published, fishing and fisheries have undergone vast changes. Not only has there been great progress in the development of new tools, materials and techniques, but the industry has seen an increasing need to address controversial issues such as declining fish stocks, enormous quantities of bycatch and discard and the impact of towed fishing gear on the environment. Fully revised and updated to reflect such changes, the fourth edition of this widely read and popular book offers: A unique, comprehensive survey of the evolution of fishing methods throughout the world Approximately 750 illustrations showing the extensive range of methods, techniques and equipment used in fishing across the globe Fishing gear classified according to the FAO system Additional chapters: Fishing Effects on Fish Stocks and Environment and Fishery and Gear Research All researchers, fisheries scientists, fisheries students, administrators and libraries in universities and research establishments where fish and fisheries are studied and taught will find this book a valuable addition to their shelves. Commercial and sports fishermen will also find Fish Catching Methods of the World a fascinating and vital reference.
Classification and illustrated definition of fishing gears
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251345147
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
This document elaborates the revised International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear (ISSCFG), as endorsed and adopted for implementation by the FAO Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) at its Twenty-fifth Session in February 2016 in Rome, Italy. The classification applies to commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries in marine and freshwater fisheries. The document provides definitions and illustrations of the configuration and mode of operation of typical fishing gears. The primary purpose is to assist FAO Members, regional fishery bodies, as well as those working on fishery statistics and management, to correctly attribute and report fisheries catches made by different gear types. The document also contributes to the prevention, deterrence and elimination of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing by providing monitoring, control and surveillance personnel with information to identify the type of fishing gear with regard to licence and authorization to carry out fishing operations. Finally, the document also provides context and references for some contemporary conservation issues related to major fishing gear types; it can therefore be used as a reference text for students and researchers in fisheries and marine conservation.

Modern Fishing Gear Technology
Author: M. Shahul HameedPublisher: Daya Books
ISBN: 9788170352235
Category : Fisheries
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
A diverse range of fishing gears and methods have been evolved to capture a wide range of species constituting the fisheries in different parts of the world. Significant developments have taken place in the fishing gear materials, design and fabrication and degree of sophistication in the operation and handling of fishing gears, in the last three decades. Advances in vessel technology, precision electronic navigation systems, high definition fish finders and sonar, gear monitoring systems and computerised control systems have increased the precision and efficiency of fishing. These developments while increasing the fish production have also brought to focus emerging issues such as the need for long term sustainability of fishery resources, fishery enhancement, protection of biodiversity, environmental safety and energy conservation in fish harvesting, which are being addressed in different parts of the fishery world with varying degrees of success. This publication brings together latest information in the field of commercial fishing technology and provides an overview of the important fishing gears, their design, fabrication and operation with focus on recent advances in responsible focuses on the requirements of the graduate and post graduate studies of fisheries science and fishing gear technology. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Fishing Gear Materials; Chapter 3: Classification of Fishing Gears; Chapter 4: Basic Principles of Fishing Gear Design and Construction; Chapter 5: Design and Operation of Major Fishing Gears, Trawls, Purse seines, Lines, Gill nets & trammel nets, Traps; Chapter 6: Fish Detection Methods; Chapter 7: Selectivity of Fishing Gears; Chapter 8: Energy Conservation in Fishing; Chapter 9: Responsible Fishing.
