@book{fdi:31399, title = {{T}ropical shrimp fisheries : types of fishing gear and their selectivity}, author = {{V}endeville, {P}hilippe}, editor = {}, language = {{ENG}}, abstract = {{S}hrimp fisheries in tropical countries concern chiefly the members of penaeid family. {T}he industrial and small-scale sectors both fish the same resources at the same time using different fishing methods. {T}hey often compete with each other or with other fishery sectors. {T}his paper deals with the methods of production of these two sectors and includes descriptions of the main fishing methods used. {D}escription of the most popular trawls used in industrial fisheries and the selective devices which have recently been developed in an attempt to reduce fish catches are included. {W}ith regard to small-scale fisheries, where there is a wide variety of fishing methods, only the most commonly used methods are described. {A}s accurate information as possible is then given on selectivity and efficiency of different fishing gears. {T}he recommendations refer to fishing technology; certain lines of research are suggested and the need to develop an extension service is stressed.
