Abstract
Experiments were conducted with polyethylene yarn gill nets in comparison with
nylon twine gill nets used by artisanal fishermen at three centres in Cochin area. Catch
details from the two types of nets are compared and it was found that polyethylene yarn
can be considered as an alternate material for nylon twine in fine gill nets.
