Description
Fisheries is one of the leading food sectors in the world. Most of the people getting benefited trough fishing Worldwide. But now a days oceans are facing some dangerous treats like Ghost fishing, plastic pollution and others. The abandoned, lost and discarded [ALD] fishing gears in the oceans will continuously active and fish both targeted and non- targeted fish stocks for many years leads to ghost fishing through ghost gears. The majority of the Fishing gears up to Early 1960s were constructed of natural fibres like Cotton, Jute, Manila, Hemp, Sisal etc. Later due to increase of awareness on fishing and also benefits of having fish. People found more sophisticated ways to increase fishing. That made the invention of synthetic fibres like Nylon [Poly amide], Poly ethylene, Poly ester etc. Having more catchability, duration, and, strength than that of natural fibres. Many types of gears were invented Gill nets, set gill nets, Trammel nets, Drift nets etc. by using these synthetic fibres Continuous fishing with these gears will cause the problem of Ghost fishing due to wear and tear or by any other unexpected loss of gears, it leads to damage of the marine environment along with marine species.Use of Biodegradable synthetic twines instead of using synthetic twines. Which are also having equal catchability like synthetic twines. Mainly these twines will degrade by micro- organisms [bacteria fungi, algae] in the seas after 24 months it helps in the protection of fish stocks and other marine organisms from Ghost fishing(Lopez et al., 2019).
