Beene, E.L.Landry, A.M., Jr.Proceedings of the Thirty-second Annual Conference, Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, November 5-8, 1978, Hot Springs, Virginia.2010-02-152010-02-151977http://hdl.handle.net/1969.3/20870p. 517-519.The roller-net, a new fisheries sampling gear incorporating features common to the pushnet and bag seine, is described. The roller-net is compared with nearshore gear types, including pushnet, bag seine, and minnow seine, in beachfront, grassbed, barren sand-shell, and soft organic substrates. The roller-net is effective in sampling nekton from grassbed and barren sand-shell substrates, but ineffective in characterizing beachfront and soft organic substrates.fishing netsfishing gearArticle
