COMPARATIVE EFFICIENCY OF TRAWLS MADE OF NYLON ,POLYETHYENE ,MONO FILAMENT AND TAPE TWINES.

Abstract

Results cf comparative fishing operations conducted with
three nets of identical cesign made of nylon, twisted polye-
1hylene monofilamenc and high ciensity polyethylene (HDPE)
tape twines are presented in this communication. Since the
tape net recorded the highest prawn and fish catch, monofilament
and nylon following in order, it can be recommended to the
fishing industry as one of the cheapest and effective fishing
materials evolved for trawl fabrication.
