In the sixteen years since the last edition of
Von Brant’s classic work was published, fishing and fisheries
have undergone vast changes. Not only has there been great progress in
the development of new tools, materials and techniques, but the

such as declining fish stocks, enormous quantities of bycatch and
discard and the impact of towed fishing gear on the environment. Fully
revised and updated to reflect such changes, the fourth edition of this
widely read and popular book offers a unique, comprehensive survey of
the evolution of fishing methods throughout the world.
Approximately 750 illustrations showing the extensive range of methods,
techniques and equipment used in fishing across the globe
Fishing gear classified according to the FAO system.
Additional chapters: Fishing Effects on Fish Stocks and Environment and

All researchers, fisheries scientists, fisheries students,
administrators and libraries in universities and research
establishments where fish and fisheries are studied and taught will
find this book a valuable addition to their shelves. Commercial and
sports fishermen will also find Fish Catching Methods of the World a
fascinating and vital reference..
