The variability in the catches of charr, Salvelinus alpinus L., and perch, Perca fluviatilis L., from multi‐mesh gill nets
Multi‐mesh gill nets set at Rawlinson's Nab in the south basin of Windermere for 24 months from 1979 to 1981 caught predominantly charr and perch. Nets set parallel to the shore caught significantly fewer fish than those set perpendicular to the shore. Variability in the mean catches of perch i...
