Abstract

Selectivity of giv nets for S. commersoni was studied with
nets made of 4 different mesh sizes fabricated with 4 different
specifications of nylon twines. Fishing operations were conducted
off Cochin through the fishing seasons 1968-72. The
commerciaUy significant size group of S. commersoni was found
to fall in the length range of 850-950 mm. The optimum
mesh size required for the capture of this group of S. commersoni
was estimated as 76 mm. bar in nylon twine 210/12/3.
The relationship between the twine size and mesh size was also
worked out.
