ABSTRACT:
By attaching a radio or acoustic sound transmitters, or combinations thereof, to the float line of nets recovery of gill nets will become much easier, and timely. This could save millions of fish and other marine life, as well as the economic value of lost nets, which can cost thousands of dollars a piece.
