COLOURED GILL NETS FOR RESERVOIR FISHING

Abstract

Experimental fishing with different coloured nets has shown
that white net yields better catch. The efficiency of the
coloured nets was in the order yellow, grey, green and blue.
Though there is little evidence to show some species preference
to a particular colour, the results wne not conclusive as the
analysis of variance indicated that interaction between species
and colour is significant only at 5% level.
