	Gillnet Page
		Gillnets commonly used in New Jersey's fisheries range from several hundred to several thousand feet in length.
		The New Jersey gillnet fleet is made up of smaller vessels, generally under 50 feet in length.
		The size of the mesh in a gillnet, along with the fisherman's intimate knowledge of the behavior of the fish he is seeking, guarantees that bycatch of other species will be minimized.

	Technology - Fishing Techniques: GillNetting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When Europeans began gillnet fishing, their boats were oar-powered and up to 26 feet in length.
		Many of these earlier gillnet boats were also powered by small sails, and were often referred to as "row-sail" boats.
		Because power drums could set and draw the gillnets into the boat faster, fishermen were able to fish in areas where water and weather conditions had previously prevented them from fishing.

		We used two types of nylon monofilament gillnet (strand diameter 0.57-0.60 mm), one in which the strands contained fine barium sulphate particles (3% by volume; 10% by weight) and another made of 100% nylon that is used regularly worldwide.
		Gillnets can be fished either at the surface (driftnets) or on the bottom (sink gillnets).
		Gillnets are not the only type of gear that is dangerous to cetaceans.

	GILLNET Case
		There have been various attempts to curtail the use of gillnet fishing and the issue was addressed at the ICCAT meeting in Madrid, Spain, 1993.

		Both gillnet gear and lobster trawls are retrieved by hauling in one of the two buoy lines attached to the end of the lobster trawl or gillnet string.
		There were 546 vessels "actively" fishing gillnet gear based on the VTR and Dealer databases, of which 250 gillnet vessels were identified in the Dealer data (without a VTR logbook), and an additional 296 gillnet vessels were identified in the VTR logbook.
		The same stratification was used on the gillnet fleet as on the lobster fleet above to estimate the economic impact on both the lobster and gillnet fishery in an area where right whales are present.

	Gillnet selectivity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The gillnet is a fishing device dating back before the time that Christ fished with his disciples and one traditionally used by the Ojibwe in the Lake Superior region.
		Other factors that improve gillnet selectivity include the location of the net, how the net is “hung,” and how long the net remains in the water (the duration of the set).
		The gillnet fishery is monitored by tribal conservation officers and biologists and also by state conservation wardens.

	State weighs partial gillnet ban - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		Gillnets have been a divisive issue in the fishing community, and a statewide series of public meetings is expected to draw heated comment.
		While supporters say that gillnets, properly used, are an efficient, appropriate way for families to gather marine resources for food, opponents argue that the nets are indiscriminate in that they catch much of what swims by, including protected species such as turtles.
		A 300-foot abandoned gillnet in Nawiliwili Bay last week had caught a green sea turtle, shark, lobster, several varieties of fish, crabs and other species, and had also wrapped up dozens of coral boulders by the time State Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement officials pulled it out of the water Tuesday.

		On June 5, 1997, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NMFS extended the closure of the swordfish portion of fishery until November 26, 1997, or until a preferred option to avoid the likelihood of jeopardy was identified and implemented (62 FR 30775).
		The BO concluded that the distribution of right whales overlaps with that of the swordfish component of the drift gillnet fishery from November 1 until July 31 and that closure of the fishery during that period is likely to avoid jeopardy for northern right whales.
		The directed gillnet fishery for small coastal sharks during fall and winter generally occurs south of Cape Hatteras along the Georgia and Florida coastal areas south to Sebastian Inlet, Florida (approximately 27 deg.51' N latitude).

		Anchored gillnet: An anchored gillnet is defined at 50 CFR 229.2 as ``any gillnet gear, including a sink gillnet or stab net, that is set anywhere in the water column and which is anchored, secured, or weighted to the bottom of the sea.
		Gillnets: All gillnet gear (excluding shark gillnets using 5-inch or greater stretched mesh south of the South Carolina/Georgia border) would be regulated in the same manner as the Mid/South Atlantic anchored gillnet fishery.
		Although shark gillnet gear poses an entanglement risk to right whales, especially calves and juveniles, weak links have not been considered for this gear type because, in the event of an entanglement, young right whales are not believed to be strong enough to break the weak links.

	Marine Fisheries Review: Catch and bycatch in the shark drift gillnet fishery off Georgia and East Florida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Vessels in the shark drift gillnet fishery in 1992-95 had been and are presently engaged in other fisheries.
		Because of the apparent similarity of the shark drift gillnet fishery to the U.S. swordfish fishery, the shark fishery was later reclassified as category II (Fox, 1990).
		Boats in the shark drift gillnet fishery were also used in the king mackerel driftnet fishery off Ft. Pierce and Port Salemo, Fla., during the mid to late 1980's (Schaefer et al., 1989).

	Cornell University - Summary of Gillnet Sizes Used for Lake Sturgeon
		Researchers were asked to provide information on what size and type of nets they used for capturing both juvenile and adult sturgeon, and provide any insightful comments that may be helpful when purchasing new nets.
		Based on the information below, we chose to purchase monofilament gillnets of the following size for sub-adult and adult lake sturgeon: mono, 88 m long, with 8 panels each 11m long, of the following mesh sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 6, 8, 10, 12”.
		The gillnet was multifilament which appeared to hold up better than monofilament.

	Sea Watch \| Drift Gillnet Fleet Decimates Revillagigedo Island Marine Reserve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		On about April 29 th a fleet of seven 70 to 90 ton drift gillnet boats, carrying 2 miles of net each surrounded San Benedicto Island, which is the home of the world's largest Giant Pacific Mantas and for 4 to 5 days decimated the sealife in this famous Mexican Marine Park.
		Based on counts from several nets it is estimated that they killed between 2000 and 4000 sharks, plus Mantas, turtles, tuna, and other marine animals.
		In two days of diving at Benedicto after the gillnet boats were gone we didn't see one live shark, whereas before that we would have seen hundreds.

		It did not include trapnets due to the difficult access, and did not include the standard number of gillnet sets for a lake of this size (12 sets) to limit unnecessary walleye mortality.
		The purpose of the assessment was to determine if natural reproduction could maintain the walleye population at desired levels and if the apparent reduction in forage fish populations was affecting walleye growth.
		Pike sizes in 2003 averaged 22.8" (2.9 lb), which was in the fourth quartile for this lake class and was similar to their sizes in previous investigations.

	MBNMS: Central California Gillnet Effort and Bycatch of Sensitive Species, 1990-1998
		During the 1980s, extensive bycatch of seabirds and marine mammals in central California's set gillnet fisheries prompted a series of area and depth closures, which ultimately appeared successful at reducing mortality of the species of primary concern, Common Murre (Uria aalge), sea otter (Enhydra lutris), and harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena).
		Since then gillnet effort coincides with higher beach deposition rates for all three species.
		In this study, historical entanglement rate data are combined with estimates of fishing effort for 1995 - 1998 to produce several sets of mortality estimates based on a variety of assumptions.

	MBNMS: Managing Marine Mammal Bycatch In Dynamic Habitats: Lessons From A California Gillnet Fishery
		Although this strategy is often necessitated by a scarcity of funding, it can be dangerously ineffective at detecting changes in mortality patterns, as recently documented in the California halibut gillnet fishery.
		During the 1980’s, central California gillnet fisheries caused significant mortality of several marine species, including harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), and southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris).
		A series of restrictions on fishing in shallow waters ultimately appeared successful at reducing bycatch, with a 1990-94 observer program reporting no sea otter entanglements and sustainable levels of harbor porpoise mortality.
