| Résumé : |
The subject of 'Fishing Gear Technology' is vast indeed. Considering its importance, however, it is one which has not, until comparatively recently received the attention it deserves. When this book was first published in 1962 the Preface began: "There are so many different fishing nets and methods of application, as well as variances in terminology from one country to the next, that it would be difficult to include in any one work a complete compilation of this information. An attempt has been made in this book however, to illustrate the basic designs of the principal gears, also to combine and simplify the relevant information so that those interested may be able to understand more fully a subject which is often regarded as complex."
Many others, of course, realized the urgent need for more clarification of fishing gear terminology, and in 1961, when the material contained in the following pages was being completed, the International Organization for Standardization (IOS) set up a committee of experts to examine the question of standards of terminology for fishing nets, etc. for international usage. A sub-committee Textile Products for Fishing Nets (SC. 9) of the Technical Committee TC 38 was subsequently formed for this purpose. Late in 1967 this committee was given a status of its own as RCT/8.
The writer was privileged to serve on that sub-committee, and is therefore aware of some of the difficulties which have to be overcome when endeavoring to reach international agreement on so complicated a subject. Certain recommendations have been made however. It is worthwhile noting in advance that whilst these may vary slightly to those initiated in this book, the principles remain quite valid and are likely to prove possibly most useful in correlating the ISO recommendations when they shall eventually be made available for general use.
Although it would be a formidable task to make a complete dictionary of fishing gear and terminology, the one included at the end of this book does give a comprehensive coverage for the purpose of correlating the appropriate text and illustrations contained in the preceding chapters. In this respect many readers have indicated that the dictionary has been helpful for quickly identifying a certain item which might otherwise have been difficult to trace.
Referring once again to the former Preface, it was then said: "Making nets by hand is undoubtedly on the decline, and this book therefore, gives an insight into how nets may be planned and cut from machined sheets of netting."
This statement has certainly proved to be correct; if anything, perhaps the changeover has been quicker than was initially anticipated so that the use of machined netting is now firmly established in all the important fishery-conscious countries. This has happened in spite of some quite strong opposition to the use of machined netting for trawl nets, at the time when this book was first published. Today, in 1968, such products are being used successfully to fish the waters off Africa, Canada, New Zealand and America, as well as in many other seas, including those within the belt of the Arctic Circle. The hand-made trawl in fact, is becoming the exception rather than the rule. |
