摘要
A fork rigged semi-pelagic trawl was modified to meet Australian regulations and its performance was evaluated against that of a demersal trawl commonly used in a tropical trawl fishery. The catch rates and sizes of commercial species (mainly Lutjanus spp.) and production costs were found to be similar in both nets. However, the semi-pelagic trawl caught less unwanted species, had less impact on the substrate and produced higher quality product. It is a viable commercial alternative for the demersal trawl fishery.
