Synopsis

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.

  • How the drift gill net was built and rigged for night and day fishing
  • Operational challenges posed by wind, current, and sea states
  • How catch results varied by mesh size and fishing conditions
  • Practical notes on handling, setting, and retrieving the net

Ideal for readers of historical fishing gear trials and field experiments in pelagic tuna fisheries.
