Fishing gear and devices for catching fish from fish ponds

The article is focused on the problems of protection of biological resources and their habitats, the construction of new and improvement of existing fish breeding enterprises, the introduction of modern automation and mechanization of the most labor-intensive stages in the production of fish is a set of priority measures for the development of fish farming aimed at increasing fish production in inland freshwater bodies. Harvesting the fish ponds, regardless of their category, is a difficult and energy-intensive process. Choosing the type of fishing gear and fishing methods used to catch fish ponds primarily depends on the type of reservoir, the state of its hydraulic char-acteristics, as well as the type of fish caught and the time of year. The main categories of water bodies by the method of fish fishing and their features are considered. The used fishing gears are divided into 3 groups according to the principle of fish retention: entangling nets, strainers and sta-tionary gears (traps). It is noted that when fishing in the ponds, it is necessary to take into account the behavior and distribution of the fish. The effective methods for catching pond fish with different fishing gear are presented. The choice of the optimal fishing gear or device for fishing ponds will allow you to clearly plan and coordinate the work of the enterprise, since pond fishing is carried out in the shortest possible time, depending on the timing and needs of the market.
