This fully trilingual companion to FAO Catalogue of Fishing Gear Designs deals especially with small-scale fisheries and is particularly valuable to the inshore or coastal fisherman operating from the shore or from vessels up to 15m long overall or with an engine power of not more than 150 hp. This book presents a selection of the main types of gear that have proved profitable in commercial fisheries and by means of particularly clear illustrations, shows how such gear is stowed, handled, set out and collected. Types shown are surrounding nets, seine nets, trawls, dredges, liftnets, castnets, gillnets, and entangling nets, traps, hooks and lines, scoop nets. Parallel texts are given in English, French and Spanish.
