Mesh selectivity of drum net traps for Buccinum opisoplectum Dall using SELECT model with unequal fishing and sampling efforts: A preliminary analysis
The mesh selectivity of drum net traps for Buccinum opisoplectum Dall caught in the eastern sea of Korea was described. Several experiments were conducted between July 2003 and March 2004 and the data obtained from the experiment was fitted by SELECT (Share Each Length class's Catch Total) model with unequal fishing and sampling efforts. The selection curve was determined to be 'estimated fishing efficiency' by model deviance rather than AIC. However the fishing efficiency between 20mm and 35mm mesh size did not seem to be different. The L50 lengths of the selectivity for the 55mm and 75mm mesh size were 65.4mm and 96.0mm, respectively.
