Gillnet fishing experiments were carried out in the Little
Fisher Bank area in the North Sea. Saithe and pollack and
to some extent cod showed a patchy distribution along a gillnet
string. The abundance of fish was positively correlated
with hard bottom and depth changes. Good catches were obtained
on wrecks provided the gillnet string was set accurately across
the wreck.
