We studied gillnet selectivity by using a direct method to compare fish-size distributions from
gillnet catches (Nordic type, mesh size range 5–135mm, knot-to-knot, factor between …

The effect of depth, distance from dam and habitat on spatial distribution of fish in an artificial reservoir

M Prchalová, J Kubečka, M Čech… - … of Freshwater Fish, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial distribution of the fish community in the deep canyon‐shaped Římov Reservoir,
Czech Republic, was studied using overnight gillnetting fishing in 1999–2007. Effects of …

The effects of fish accumulation on the catchability of multimesh gillnet

M Olin, M Kurkilahti, P Peitola, J Ruuhijärvi - Fisheries Research, 2004 - Elsevier
The catchability of a gillnet reduces as the fish accumulate in it. This may skew the
estimations of relative fish abundance or community structure. Two lakes with different fish …

Size spectra of lake fish assemblages: responses along gradients of general environmental factors and intensity of lake‐use

M Emmrich, S Brucet, D Ritterbusch… - Freshwater …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
The size structure of communities is shaped by biotic and abiotic interactions. Therefore,
comparative analyses of size spectra may reveal the major drivers governing patterns and …

Gillnet catch in estimating the density and structure of fish community—comparison of gillnet and trawl samples in a eutrophic lake

M Olin, T Malinen, J Ruuhijärvi - Fisheries Research, 2009 - Elsevier
To improve the accuracy of fish population estimates, understanding the deficiencies of fish
sampling methods is important. Gillnets are a passive and selective gear and give biased …

Characterising functional trait diversity and trait–environment relationships in fish assemblages of boreal lakes

T Erős, J Heino, D Schmera, M Rask - Freshwater Biology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Characterisation of biodiversity is typically based on taxonomic approaches, while much
less is known about other related aspects. Functional trait diversity is one such component of …

Fish activity as determined by gillnet catch: A comparison of two reservoirs of different turbidity

M Prchalová, T Mrkvička, J Kubečka, J Peterka… - Fisheries …, 2010 - Elsevier
Fish activity was monitored analyzing the catches of gillnets exposed for short time intervals
at night. Experiments were done in two Central European reservoirs with different turbidity …

Biomass and abundance biases in European standard gillnet sampling
