The second section detailed the method adopted for presentation of the design drawings which is in accordance with the FAO catalogue of small-scale fishing gear. Finally, the third section described, the mode of operation and specification of the various types of fishing gear which were thoroughly investigated to go with the detailed design drawings.In all, twenty-one design drawings of the main classified fishing gear were presented with photographs to show the vital characteristics of the fishing gear.
