    Gill Nets and Their Operation

    Gill Nets and their Operation Saly N. Thomas Central Institute of Fisheries Technology P.O. Matsyapuri, Cochin – 682 029 Email: [email protected] Gill net is a highly selective and passive gear accounting for 20% of all the fishing methods of the world. The simplicity of its design, construction, operation and its low energy requirement make the gear very popular in all the sectors especially in the traditional sector. It is a highly selective gear and the use of this gear in a responsible way ensures resource conservation. The gear is a vertical wall of netting, which is kept erect in water by means of floats and sinkers. The gear is mostly rectangular in shape whose upper end is mounted to a float line (head rope) and the lower end to a sinker line (foot rope). The nets are operated in the surface, column or bottom layers of the water column in inland, coastal and deep sea. Gill nets are operated for the capture of different groups of fishes such as sardine, mackerel, prawn, hilsa, and larger varieties like tuna, shark, seer fish, and other large pelagics. When operated for such larger varieties in the deeper areas of the sea the nets extend to several kilometers. Mechanism of fish capture in gill nets The fact that separates gill nets from all other type of fishing is that in gill nets the `mesh’ of the net serves the dual function of `selecting’ the fish to be caught and catching it. The capture of fish in gill nets depends on the net construction, its dimensions, and the shape of the fish body.

    Ghost Net Impacts on Coral Reefs Time to Complete Lesson: 20-30 Minutes

    Ghost (net) Busters Ghost Net Impacts on Coral Reefs Time to complete lesson: 20-30 minutes Purpose of module: This module allows students to simulate the impacts of ghost nets on a coral reef. Students will build a model healthy reef ecosystem, damage it using a ghost net, and then remove it from the reef. Students will conduct a damage assessment caused by the net dragging across the reef using quadrats. Background information: Coral reefs, also known as the rainforests of the sea, are one of the most diverse and ecologically complex marine ecosystems. They are found in warm, tropical waters with high salinity and high light exposure. A coral reef is made up of individual coral polyps that resemble tiny anemones and are attached to the reef. Each coral polyp is less than half an inch in diameter, but they live in colonies which Figure 1: A healthy coral reef system. can expand and take up the size of a small car. Reef building corals have a skeleton made of calcium carbonate, a mineral that is left behind when an individual coral dies. Another coral may settle on that spot and grow on top of the remaining skeleton. This allows a coral reef to grow a few centimeters each year, eventually reaching massive sizes. Coral reefs provide food and shelter for many plants, invertebrates, and fish. It is estimated that at least 25% of all marine life spendCredit: part MostBeautifulThings.net of their life at a coral reef. Coral reefs provide shelter for small fish, and small fish attract larger fish, which in turn attract large predators like sharks.

  • Design a Safe Fishing Net Notes for Teachers

    Design a Safe Fishing Net Notes for Teachers

    You need: Design a safe • Paper or card • Pencils • Colouring pens fishing net or pencils Thousands of whales and dolphins die every year because they get trapped in fishing nets. They can’t get to the surface to breathe, so they suffocate and drown. How can we design nets that can catch fish, but won’t accidentally catch whales and dolphins? Each child will need some 1 paper, a pencil and some colouring supplies. Their challenge is to design a net that will successfully catch fish, but won’t catch whales and dolphins. Encourage children to think about what they’ve learnt about whales 2 and dolphins that might help them with their designs, for example: • How do dolphins find their food? • How big are whales and dolphins? Scan or take photos of the best net designs and send them to [email protected] – we’d love to see them! Design a safe fishing net Notes for teachers Ask the children questions to encourage them to think about their designs. Their solutions might involve stopping whales and dolphins from swimming into the net in the first place, or ways to escape if they do get trapped. Some great ideas from other children have included: • Brightly coloured nets that are easily seen; • Nets that make noise to scare whales and dolphins away; • Sensors that detect if a whale or dolphin is nearby, then retract the net; • Monitored cameras so fishermen can see and release a trapped whale or dolphin; • Nets that do not close if a whale or dolphin, or the weight of a whale or dolphin, is detected.

These collisions occurred mostly at night or in fog conditions where visibility was restricted and additional lookouts were not engaged. Discussion The Chinese port Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is located in Ningbo and Zhoushan on the coast of the East China Sea, in Zhejiang province and is ranked the busiest cargo port in the world. Large fleets of fishing junks may be encountered on the coast of China. The junks may not be carrying lights. They are solidly built and serious damage could be incurred by colliding with them. Fishing vessels vary from traditional rowing or sailing craft as little as 3m long to modern trawlers 15m long and over. We recently met with China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) to review the collision cases and explore possible measures to help prevent similar casualties and loss of life. Attached is an Advisory prepared by Ningbo MSA that provides guidance for Master’s on navigating through the East China Sea and areas where there may be high concentrations of fishing vessels.

  • Forensic Discrimination of Fibers by Evolved Gas Analysis and Library Search by F-Search

    Forensic Discrimination of Fibers by Evolved Gas Analysis and Library Search by F-Search

    ® Multi-functional Pyrolyzer Technical Note ( PYA3 - 012E ) Forensic Discrimination of Fibers by Evolved Gas Analysis and Library Search by F-Search [Background] In the area of forensic chemistry, the identification of an ’unknown’ fiber needs to be done quickly and accurately; the analytical method needs to be as simple as possible. Evolved gas analysis (EGA)-MS is a simple thermal analysis method that provides information about the gases evolving from a sample as it is heated. This method provides information such as the elution temperature of the volatiles and the pyrolysis temperature of the unknown polymeric fraction of the sample. The thermal distribution of the evolved gases along with the mass spectra data, enables the analyst to quickly identify an ‘unknown’ fiber. This technical notes describes how EGA-MS can be used to compare different types of fibers. [Experimental] The 21 fiber samples used in this study are shown in Fig. 1. Thermograms of these fibers were obtained by EGA. Then a library containing the average mass spectra of the main peaks in each thermogram was created using F- Search. The 21 fibers were differentiated based up on the thermal distribution of the evolved gases (i.e. the peak shape of the thermograms) and the F-Search library search results. [Results] One of the 21 fibers was randomly selected to serve as the ‘unknown’ sample. The ‘unknown’ samples was then searched using the newly created library. In Fig. 2, the three candidates with highest match qualities are shown. Candidates 1 and 2 have match qualities greater than 80, but their mass spectra are too similar to differentiate them.
