Abstract:

Fishing gears are marked to establish and inform origin, ownership and
position. More recently, fishing gears are marked to aid in capacity
control, reduce marine litter due to abandoned, lost or otherwise
discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) and assist in its recovery, and to combat
illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Traditionally,
physical marking, inscription, writing, color, shape, and tags have been
used for ownership and capacity purposes. Buoys, lights, flags, and
radar reflectors are used for marking of position. More recently,
electronic devices have been installed on marker buoys to enable easier
relocation of the gear by owner vessels. This paper reviews gear marking
technologies with focus on coded wire tags, radio frequency
identification tags, Automatic Identification Systems, advanced
electronic buoys for pelagic longlines and fish aggregating devices, and
re-location technology if the gear becomes lost.
