Title: Exploring gillnet catch efficiency of sardines in the coastal waters of Sri L...
Abstract: The present investigation was undertaken to study the gillnet catch efﬁciency of sardines in the coastal waters of Sri Lanka using commercial catch and effort data. Commercial catch and effort data of small mesh gillnet ﬁshery were collected in ﬁve ﬁsheries districts during the period May 1999–August 2002. Gillnet catch efﬁciency of sardines was investigated by developing catch rates predictive models using data on commercial ﬁsheries and environmental variables. Three statistical techniqu...
