  • Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines
    Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines 著者 KAWAMURA Gunzo, BAGARINAO Teodora journal or 鹿児島大学水産学部紀要=Memoirs of Faculty of publication title Fisheries Kagoshima University volume 29 page range 81-121 別言語のタイトル フィリピン, パナイ島の漁具漁法 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10232/13182 Mem. Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

Prepared questionnaires were used to sourced vital information from a total of one hundred and fifty respondents (150) in three communities (Bugunma, Harristown and Obonnoma) in Kalabari Kingdom of Rivers State. The data generated from the study were analyzed, using descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and regression analysis (ANOVA). The results revealed that 54.6% has their major source of capital from personal saving. The budgetary analysis showed that the gross margin of N3 The ANOVA showed that household size, highest educational qualification and fishing experience has significant impact on the output level of the fishers.0,093 were obtained by fisherman/day. The common catch species of fish are shiny nose (Polynaemidae) 82.3%, Tilapia 80.85%, and Cat fish 80.1%. While the common types of fishing gear used were hook and line 95.0%, Cast net and Scoop net (86.5%), Fishing basket 85.1% and Fishing trap 84.4%.

  • Guide to the Classification of Fishing Gear in the Philippines

GUIDE TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF FISHING GEAR IN THE PHILIPPINES By AGUSTIN F. UMALI, Ichthyologist Illustrations by Silas G. Duran RESEARCH REPORT 17 Fish and Wildlife Service, Albert M. Day, Director United States Department of the Interior, Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1950 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 40 cents ABSTRACT One of the serious handicaps in the administration and manage­ ment of the fisheries of the Philippines has been the lack of standardized nomenclature for fishing gear. This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

  • A Look First Web Weavers
    A Look at the First Web Weavers The Last Fishing Gear Masters How Handcrafts Were Replaced By Machine A Demonstration of Early Net Making Timothy C. Visel, Aquaculture Center Coordinator Text by Susan Weber and Alex Disla Diagrams by Alicia Cook May 2007, Adult Education Program The Sound School Regional Vocational Aquaculture School 17 Sea Street New Haven CT 06519 A look at the first web weavers It's an old argument - which came first, baskets or cloth. We will most likely never know for certain. The answer is probably lost for all time. What we do know is that fishing baskets were used thousands of years B.C., so baskets and the process of making twine from natural fibers also enabled the first basket sacks, (which today we call burlap). They also involved the basic techniques for cloth making with looms and the making of mesh or a pliable collapsible basket. The early fishing baskets constructed from shaped wood or split wood had the first concepts of rows, and openings. This was necessary to let some of the water pass through them so as to reduce resistance and of course, let some fish enter also. This is opposite most of the early baskets that were designed to hold all contents and sought to reduce spaces between the weaves. The materials were also different, baskets had finer materials, split fibers or reeds/grasses while those used to catch fish used larger, and more stable materials. Over time, the fishing basket evolved into fishing mesh or a combination of both. It is better to think of the first fishing mesh as a type of basket, with rows and spaces, the space now being defined by a pliable twine that lacked a definite shape, which today is called a “mesh”.
