Elements and Performance Criteria
- Organise work area to adjust fishing gear
- Appropriate fishing gear and related equipment are selected.
- Unsafe and inefficient aspects of the work area are identified and rectified.
- Work teams are given clear instructions about the task and methods to be used.
- Resources necessary for the completion of the task are made available when needed.
- Tools, equipment and techniques devised for maintaining and readying fishing devices for deployment are appropriate for planned operations.
- Adjust components of fishing gear to optimise catch
- Criteria for assessing sub-optimal fishing gear performance are used to judge effectiveness.
- Observations are made on catch and fishing device components to provide data on position, symmetry and performance.
- Effectiveness of deployment of fishing device components is assessed by comparing catches and observed operation of components with gear plans.
- Fishing device components are adjusted, reconditioned or constructed to rectify sub-optimal gear performance.
- Position fishing gear to optimise catch
- Fishing strategy is developed to incorporate all relevant factors.
- Position, concentration and movement of the target species and environmental and other characteristics of area of operation are monitored by visual and electronic means.
- Positions of vessel and fishing device during deployment and retrieval is monitored and adjusted, as required, to optimise catch and avoid hazards.
- Fishing device movement is anticipated and its position is altered to maintain desired position by changing vessel course and speed.
- Catches are analysed to determine effectiveness and performance of fishing device.
