Surface Gill Net Trials for Skipjack offers a concise look at field tests of drift gill nets conducted in Hawaii in 1951.
This report describes a cooperative effort between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Territory of Hawaii, detailing the gear, vessels, and procedures used to study skipjack catches.
The study covers the net design and setup, including eight 50-fathom shackles of netting with multiple mesh sizes, floats, leads, and bridle arrangements. It also explains how weather, currents, and sea conditions influenced fishing operations and the retrieval process, with observations drawn from multiple trial sets on different islands.
Ideal for readers of historical fishing gear trials and field experiments in pelagic tuna fisheries.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book describes the experimental use of gill nets in Hawaiian waters, specifically targeting skipjack tuna. The book provides a detailed account of the design, construction, and operation of the gill nets, along with an analysis of the fishing grounds, seasons, and catches. The author concludes that surface gill netting shows little promise as a commercial fishing method for skipjack in Hawaiian waters, despite the abundance of skipjack schools observed during the experiment. This book is a valuable resource for fisheries researchers and commercial fishermen interested in exploring alternative fishing methods for skipjack tuna.
