ON THE FISHING POWER OF MONO FILAMENT AND MULTI FILAMENT GILL NETS.

Abstract

The authors have discussed the results of comparative
fishing, conducted in the Govindsagar reservoir, with simple
mmonofilament and multifilament gill nets. The experiments
were conducted both in clear and turbid water. In both these
water masses, the monofilament gill net has been found to be
more efficient. It is also found that the four major species
of fishes of the reservoir have not shown any preference
towards a specific gear.
