Though trawling contributes significantly to landings in India, issues like bycatch which
comprises of juveniles of commercially important species and impacts to the sea bottom are …

We conducted a study from 1998 to 2001 to determine the efficacy of a benthic trawl
designed to increase species detection and reduce the incidence of zero catches of small …

Large warmwater rivers are complex ecosystems and often contain numerous species and
habitats. We loosely define a large river as having a drainage area greater than 50,000 km2 …

Reliable information on fish stocks is given crucial importance in fisheries science and
ecosystem management. Among others, the European Water Framework Directive calls for …

Fisheries-independent surveys are a critical tool for monitoring marine populations and
communities. However, considerations must be made to account for variable-size-based …

The efficiency of different sized (0.5 m× 2m, 1m× 2m, 2m× 2m, 4m× 2m) and coloured (black,
white) ichthyoplankton trawl nets and the densities of fry between day and night were …

There is compelling evidence that European marine fish assemblages have undergone
extensive changes in composition over the last century. However, our knowledge of which …

Avoidance reactions of young-of-the-year fish assemblages were investigated in the
offshore zone of three reservoirs in the Czech Republic during late summer. Pikeperch …

The aim of this study was to test the selectivity of a trawl main body, especially for small fish,
during night sampling. The tested trawl had a mesh size of 80/40/20mm in the main body, a …

Two experiments were conducted in an Australian penaeid stow-net fishery to:(i) validate the
use of a fine-meshed cover for determining the selectivity of codends, and (ii) use this cover …
