Abstract
An overview of fishing gear selectivity and its impact on fisheries management is given in this review article. Although selectivity directly impacts the composition of the catch and non-target species and ecosystems, it is a vital aspect of sustainable fishing techniques. We talk about the benefits and drawbacks of using different fishing techniques, such as trawls, gillnets, long lines, traps, and hooks, to target particular species and size classes when addressing the selectivity of these techniques. We also look at the variables that affect selectivity, like fishing depth, mesh size, soak time, and gear design. We additionally look into the function of selectivity in fisheries management plans, including limits on size, gear, and marine protected zones. We can encourage by grasping the degree of selectivity exhibited by various fishing gears and putting in place suitable management strategies.
Keywords
Selectivity, fishing gear, sustainability, non-target species, size classes, fisheries management.
