| Summary: | In this study it is aimed to determine the structural and technical
characteristics of the fishing gears used by small-scale fishing boats

samplings were carried out in fishery cooperatives and fishing ports
(Samsun-Ordu-Giresun) during 2010-2011. Accordingly, 10 various types set nets,
four of which are trammel and six of which are gill nets, have been identified
in the research area and their technical plans have been drawn according to the
FAO standarts. All of the nets were made of PA material and the hanging
ratio vary from 0.29 to 0.65. The results showed that the nets had no standard
technical specifications and indicates differences nets used in the different
