The only manual currently available to fisheries scientists

and technologists describing the methods of measuring the

selectivity of fishing gears is that produced within the

auspices of FA0 (J.A. Pope et al., (1975)). It was largely based on the report of the ICES Mesh Selection Working Group, 1959-1960. It describes methods for measuring the selectivity of most types of fishing gear: trawl, Danish seines, gill nets and hooks. An expanded review of methods for measuring the selectivity of gill nets was then produced by J.M. Hamley, (1975).
