Notes:
Data from 10 185 gillnetted brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) and 5777 Arctic charr [Salvelinus alpinus (L.)] were analysed. Relative to mesh size, the most efficiently caught fish length (the modal length) was somewhat larger with floated nets than with smaller nets placed on the bottom. There were no such consistent differences between the two species. Fish that exceeded the modal lengths were caught more efficiently than smaller fish. The relationship of most efficient mesh size to fish length and condition factor fitted excellently to a linear equation. Based on this equation, the selectivity curve for Arctic charr gillnetted in the Nesjø reservoir, the different efficiency of nets of 0.1 and 0.17mm twine and an equation expressing the increasing height of the selectivity curve with increasing mesh size, a model is presented to compare length frequencies and total numbers of gillnet catches taken with any combination of mesh sizes.
