摘要： Experiments were conducted to assess the selectivity of diamond mesh codends in capturing largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) in the demersal trawl fishery of the Beibu Gulf, located in the South China Sea. The selectivity experiments involved four codends with different mesh sizes (30, 35, 40, and 45 mm), and the covered codend method was employed. Catch data were analyzed using the maximum likelihood method, with both Logistic and Richards curves fitted to the data, and the abundance-biomass comparison (ABC) curve method was used to analyze the impact of codend on fishery resources. Model deviance was compared with the degree of freedom to choose the best fit curve. The Logistic curves gave a better fit for the codends with 30 and 40 mm mesh sizes, while the Richards curves had a better fit for the codends with 35 and 45 mm mesh sizes, respectively. The 50% retention lengths (L-50) and selection ranges (SR) were determined for 30 mm (L-50: 11.40 cm; SR: 3.81 cm), 35 mm (L-50: 11.65 cm; SR: 3.98 cm), 40 mm (L-50: 12.92 cm; SR: 5.30 cm), and 45 mm (L-50: 13.28 cm; SR: 4.14 cm) mesh codends. The results indicated that the present minimum mesh size, 40 mm diamond mesh, did not match with minimum landing size of largerhead hairtail, 190 mm anal. length. Based on the observed linear relationship between L-50 and mesh opening, it was determined that the diamond mesh codend should be adjusted to a larger mesh opening of approximately 72.47 mm in order to achieve an L-50 value of 190 mm. The ABC curve characteristics indicate that the fish community structure in the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea is in a severely disturbed state. This study suggests that the square mesh codend and T90 codend (diamond mesh netting turned by 90 degrees) should be tested and compared with the diamond mesh codend, to obtain the optimal configuration and mesh size of the codend for demersal trawl fishery in the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea.
