Abstract
This paper presents the results of comparative fishing tests with trammel nets and
simple gill nets operated off Cochin. Trammel nets of polyamide mulitfilament with inner
webbing of mesh size 34.0, 38.0, 40.0 and 50.0 mm were compared with polyamide monofilament
simple gill nets of corresponding mesh size. Trammel nets and simple gill nets of
34.0 and 38.0 mm mesh size gave better results with respect to catch per unit area. Among
them, trammel nets gave better output.
