Effect of marine debris on the catching ability of bottom gill net

Abstract Changes in internal and external factors during operation of bottom gill net will affect to catch ability net. The presence marine debris the ocean is predicted influence nets which leads reduction ability. This study aimed identify that lead decreasing calculate due changes hanging ratio caused by debris. Fishing activity using for 10 replications was conducted net’s ability, while reduced calculated through percentage area covered garbage, tension body entangled twisted garbage results showed there were three led a debris, namely: stuck net, trash webs wrapped around closure mesh, openings mesh result decrease 20-50%.
