Abstract

Shrimp fisheries in tropical countries concern chiefly the members of the penaeid family. The industrial and small-scale sectors both fish the same resources at the same time using different fishing methods. They often compete with each other or with other fishery sectors. This paper deals with methods of production of these two sectors and includes descriptions of the main fishing methods used. Descriptions of the most popular trawls used in industrial fisheries and the selective devices which have recently been developed in an attempt to reduce fish catches are included. With regard to small scale fisheries, where there is a wide variety of fishing methods, only the most commonly used methods are described.
