    The key takeaways are that fishing methods refer to how fish are caught, such as by hand picking or spearing, while fishing gears refer to the tools used, such as nets or hooks. Different methods and gears can have varying impacts on sustainability depending on how they are managed.

    Fishing methods refer to the actual techniques or processes used to catch fish, such as attracting, surrounding or lifting fish. Fishing gears refer to the physical equipment or tools used, such as nets, traps or lines. Fishing methods are how fishing is done, while gears are what is used.

    The fishing methods and gears used can impact marine life and habitats depending on factors like how selective or non-selective they are. More selective methods and gears have less impact while non-selective ones can damage habitats and catch non-target species.

    FISHING

    METHODS &
    GEARS
    Fishing method – is the
    manner or system of
    operation in the
    catching of fish
    Fishing gear – is the
    tool or instrument
    used to capture fish
    Although fishing methods
    & fishing gears are loosely
    used & combined in gear
    classification, remember
    that they are different
    Fishing methods = How
    to do?
    Fishing gears = What
    to use?
    The methods &
    fishing gears used to
    catch fish are the
    determining factors
    of sustainability as
    they can impact upon
    marine life & habitats.
    Fishing methods have
    been developed over
    the years to adapt to
    local conditions, the
    desired species of fish,
    & the target size.
    Methods can range
    from artisanal,
    traditional small scale,
    with/without the
    boats/vessels
    or sophisticated and
    modern operated by
    large fishing vessels
    Gears can range from
    a spear or a simple &
    small hook & line to
    large, modern &
    sophisticated
    midwater trawls or
    purse seines
    The precise impacts of
    each method and gear
    are dependent on the
    strength of the
    management &
    techniques used on
    individual
    boats/vessels
    The most successful
    fishing methods and
    gears of a given
    region are those
    that have stood the
    test of time.
    Fishing methods

    Hand picking

    can be considered the


    simplest form of fishing,
    surviving the centuries
    and modern developments
    Hand picking

    Ö what can be picked up


    is limited to some
    objects only & to the
    zones within the manual
    reach of humans
    Mussels, snails, echinoderms & small
    crustaceans such as crayfish and
    shrimps are the main animals caught
    by hand-picking
    Hand picking
    Fishing methods

    Spearing/harpooning

    In its simplest form, the


    fisherman’s most primitive
    method using gear & is
    known from prehistoric
    times.
    Spearing/harpooning

    Known for over 10000


    years, it was developed
    to satisfy the need to
    extend the range &
    reach of the human arm
    Spearing/harpooning
    Fishing methods

    Attracting

    Takes advantage of
    fish behavior to
    effect capture
    Attracting

    Attraction is the process or


    series of processes in which
    some stimulant (such as
    baits, light, chemicals, etc.)
    are used to attract the fish
    or school of fish to a
    particular area from where
    they may or may not get out
    or escape.
    Types of Stimuli
     Luminous (visual) – Light, net
    color
     Sonorous (auditory)- Whistle,
    rattles
     Mechanical (touch)- Baits
     Chemical (smell)- Protein,
    amino acid, vitamin
     Electrical (electric field)-
    Electro fishing
    Luminous
    (visual stimuli)

    Use of light may attract


    fish toward gear
    Torches, fire baskets,
    lamps are used to attract
    the fish
    Luminous
    (visual stimuli)
    Fish with highly developed
    sense organ will be more
    attracted than the less
    developed
    Any deviation from
    environmental illumination
    will effect the movement
    of fish
    Lights
    Sonorous
    (sound stimuli)

    Sound like whistles or


    rattles are used to
    attract fish - sound of
    particular wave length
    attracts fish of
    particular species
    Sonorous
    (sound stimuli)

    Scientific equipment like


    hydrophone, tape
    recorder are developed
    & helps fishermen to
    direct the movement of
    fish
    Sonorous
    However, in commercial
    fishery, the application of
    sound in attracting fish
    has not yet been
    recognized
    Marine scientists uses
    this technology not to
    catch the fish but to
    protect them
    Sound
    Mechanical
    (baits)

    Natural bait - earthworm,


    frog, eggs of many fish,
    eggs & larvae of ants &
    bee - Cow dung
    • Smell and vision plays
    important role here
    BAITS

    Natural
    baits
    Mechanical

    Artificial bait - shinny


    colored baits are used in
    line fishing - e.g. fish skin,
    feathers, pearls etc.
    • here the sense of vision
    is more important than
    the smell
    Baits

    Artificial
    baits
    Chemical

    Fishes give response to


    chemical stimuli
    Chemical stimuli plays an
    important role in the use
    of bait and lures.
    Chemical
    They are attractant (e.g.
    amino acids, esters, oil,
    vitamins, etc.)
    Repellent (e.g. extracts
    of the skin of mammals)
    It helps the fish to be
    attracted to definite
    direction
    Chemical
    Electrical
    Using electrical stimuli
    also catches fish - As soon
    as a fish enters that field
    two thing occur:
     If the conductivity of water
    were lower; the current
    would use the fish as a
    better conductor and flow a
    great extent through it
    Electrical
     If the conductivity of water
    were good the current would
    then flow around the fish
    The conductivity of water
    depends on the dissolved
    solutes and temperature
    Electro fishing can be
    done in both fresh and
    marine water
    Electrical
    Fishing methods

    Hooking & ripping

    Use of line & hooks - done


    by securing the bait in the
    hook in such a way that
    the fish can neither carry
    it away freely nor escape
    once they have taken it
    Hooking & ripping

    The principle of line


    fishing is to offer a
    partly fixed bait to the
    fish, which accepts it &
    then finds itself unable
    to release the bait so
    that it can be lifted from
    the water together with
    the bait
    Line fishing
    Fishing methods

    Bobbing
    To meet this principle,
    nothing but attractive bait
    fastened to a line of
    adequate length is
    necessary. Done by simple
    up & down movement.
    Bobbing

    This method is practiced


    not only in commercial
    fisheries but also in sport
    fishing. Crustaceans and
    mollusks, more than fish,
    are caught in this manner
    Fishing methods

    Trapping/Impounding

    The principle of this


    method is to allow fish to
    enter a trap or impound &
    make escapement from
    difficult or even impossible
    Trapping
    impounding
    Fishing methods

    Gilling

    The principle of this


    method is to “mesh” the
    fish or trap the fish in a
    the mesh of a net smaller
    than the circumference of
    their bodies
    Gilling

    Gilling happen at the


    beginning of the dorsal
    fin of the fish, but
    mostly it will be behind
    the opercula and the
    gills, hence, the term
    ‘gilled’.
    Gilling

    The pressure of the mesh


    twine on the throat of
    the fish can cause the
    opercula to spread; the
    net twine then hooks
    behind them so that the
    fish can go neither
    forward nor backward.
    Gill
    netting
    Fishing methods

    Falling

    The principle for this


    method is to clapped
    down on the fish or other
    animals to be caught,
    hence the term “falling”
    Falling

    • The manner of capture


    is to cover the fish with
    a gear.
    • This can be done
    without difficulty in
    shallow waters, but
    with some difficulty in
    deeper waters
    Falling
    Fishing methods
    Entangling
    The principle of this method
    is to entangle the fish or
    crabs in the netting by
    coming into the single-,
    double- or triple-walled
    (trammel) nets voluntarily or
    by being driven.
    Entangling
    Fishing methods

    Lifting

    The principle of this


    method is to bring the
    prey over a flat or more
    or less bag-like netting.
    Lifting

    • The fish are then


    caught by lifting the
    gear.
    • Smaller types have
    special devices to
    keep the netting
    spread.
    Lifting
    Fishing methods

    Dragging & pushing

    The principle of this


    method is to filter the
    passive prey by the
    actively moving gear.
    Dragging & pushing

    This method catches


    bottom fish through
    dredging the gear
    Dragging &
    pushing
    Fishing methods
    Seining
    The principle of this method
    is to surround a certain
    area then towing the gear
    over this area with both
    ends attached to a fixed
    point on the shore or on a
    vessel
    Seining
    Fishing methods
    Surrounding
    surround the fish not only
    from the side but also
    from beneath, thus
    permitting the capture of
    fish over very deep waters
    by preventing their escape
    into the depths.
