Fish capture basic net construction that help the fisherman.

2. At the end of this lesson, the learners are able to;
1. Identify gill net and equipment needed in constructing it
2. Get familiarized with the different types of gill net
3. Perform the basic net making

3. Gill Net

4. What are the necessary
equipment of Gill Net?
Floats –usually made of
plastic attached to the head
rope and helps in keeping the
gear at the required depth.

5. Sinkers –usually made of
stones, rocks, bones and
leads evenly distributed
along the foot rope of gill
net and used to keep the
net in the desire position.

6. Anchors –normally made
up from metal and used
for setting the net into
bottom.

7. Buoys –denote the
current position of gill
net and attached to the
fishing gear by the buoy
line.

8. Gill net are generally used by both commercial and
artisanal fishers in both marine and freshwater
bodies. It is highly selective and passive fishing gear.
Gill net may be made up from single net, double net
and triple netting walls. It may operated in surface
water, midwater and bottom water. These net can be
set with anchor to the bottom and can be free or
connected to the vessel.
What is Gill Net?

9. Caught species by Gill Net?
 Salmon
 Pomfrets
 Lobsters
 Mullets
 Shark
 Tuna
 Seabass

10. Mode of Capture
 Gilling- held by mesh around their gill
 Snagging- held by mesh around their
head
 Wedging- held by mesh around the body
 Entangling- held by teeth , spines,
maxillaries or other protrusions without
the body penetrating the mesh

11. Types of Gill Net
Simple wall gill net–
these nets kept vertical
in the water with
sinkers and floats

12. Trammel net– consist of
three layers of
webbing. These nets
are more useful for
different size fishes.

22. Directions: Answer the following questions after each situation.
1. If you will be given an opportunity to perform municipal or commercial
fishing. What type of gill net will you choose?, Why?
2. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) will be giving simple
wall gill net including 30 pcs. floaters, 15 pcs. sinkers, 1 anchor and 1 buoy.
How much will be the total cost of Simple Wall Gill Net given by BFAR based on
the following price list:
Floaters - 12.00 pesos each
Sinkers- 18.00 pesos each
Anchor- 85.00 pesos each
Buoy- 275.00 each
Simple Wall Gill Net- 385.00 pesos each
3. There are two fishermen conducts fishing in municipal waters of Candelaria,
Zambales using Drift Gill Net. Fisherman 1 caught 35 kgs. of tunas while
Fisherman 2 caught 55 kgs of tunas but each of them spent 5 liters of gasoline
throughout the hauling. How much will be the net income of each fisherman if
the tuna costs 100 pesos/kg. and the gasoline costs 60 pesos/liter?
4. Compare and contrast the ecological impact of gill net fishing with other
forms of fishing gear, such as beach seine and spear gun.
