The selectivity of commercial trawls in Malaysia
Trawls operated by commercial fishermen were tested with the covered codend method to determine its selectivity on species of fish caught. The 25mm codend retained 98.2% of fish while the 51mm codend retained 56.1% of the catch. Trash fish component of the codend was 46.7% for the smaller mesh size...
