Short Review on Gillnets and Their Efficiency in Fishing Activity

摘要

Global reduction in fish stock and over-fishing particularly in inland water may due to use widely selected fishing gear such as gillnets. Synthetic materials used in manufacturing gillnets have given fishermen great fishing opportunities in practicing fishing, which were not available through use traditional gear. There are opportunities representing in using gillnets on rough ground that had once been fished by longlines, but could not be fished by trawlers, using them successfully in daylight and giving fishermen more freedom to choose the timing and duration of their fishing trips. Therefore, the present paper summarized the information related to gillnet due to its effectiveness on global fisheries.
