Study of physical damage and storage effects on strength of sturgeon gillnet

Authors

Abstract

Every year, after fishing period, the sturgeon gillnets are assessed base on physical characters by the management of sturgeon fishes in Golestan Province. Net are put aside and replaced by new one if they qualification are not net. In spite of importance of strength ropes, unfortunately, there is a little research in this regards. In addition, previous research are not applied storage conditions and physical damages. Therefore, researcher are determined to do a research in this regards. For this reason some materials from new net, storage net, damaged net, put aside net, etc. collected and tested by an Instron. Then data analyzed by factorial test in complete randomized and variance and average compared in 5% significant level by SPSS version 17.  The results shows that there is not significant difference between new net (blank) and new net kept in storage for two years in strength point (p>0.05). However, there is significant difference in breaking point, damaged nets (p<0.05). Regarding the effect of reducing, the net strength during the storage, lack of significant difference between new storage net, represents a quality loss in making of new nets.
