Each net has 105 meshes height. Number 3 plastic floats were used on the floatline of nets and 50 gr leads were used on the leadline of nets. Drive-in fishery technique was used in fishery opera-tions. At the end of 15 fishery operations, 174 bogue were caught with 20 mm mesh size, E=0.40 nets; 280 bogue were caught with 22 mm mesh size, E=0.50 nets and 403 bogue were caught with 25 mm mesh size, E=0.60 nets, as maximum.
