Design and Construction

Our gillnets are crafted from either monofilament or multifilament nylon twines, rigged at a ratio of 55%. The smaller nets (1″ to 6″) are designed with a floating line and a leadline, while larger mesh sizes are rigged with a float line and heavier leaded lines. Each net is constructed using multiple panels, hand-sewn together for optimal performance.

Use and Application

The FEX-03 gillnet is primarily used for biological studies and effective fish sampling in lakes, rivers, and seas. It is ideal for capturing fish of various sizes and species, making it an essential tool for ecologists and fisheries biologists. The net should be checked multiple times daily to minimize fish mortality.

Additional Information

Experimental Gillnets are utilized to survey fish populations, assessing age classes, size distribution, and maturity stages in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The trammel net, an alternative option, is highly effective and less selective, capable of catching fish as small as 8 cm and as large as 1 meter. This net consists of three layers of webbing and is equipped with floats and a leaded footrope.

Available Models

We offer a range of EXPERIMENTAL nets with the following specifications:
