A mesh gauge to be used for determining mesh sizes shall be 2 mm thick, flat, of durable material and non-deformable. It shall be designed either as a number of parallel-edged sides connected by tapering edges with a taper of 1:8 on each side or only tapering edges with the taper defined above. The mesh gauge shall have a hole at the narrowest extremity.

| (b) | The face of the mesh gauge shall be inscribed with the width in millimetres both on the parallel-sided section, if this design is used and on the tapering section. In the case of the latter, the width shall be inscribed for every interval of 1mm and the width shall be indicated at regular intervals. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

The face of the mesh gauge shall be inscribed with the width in millimetres both on the parallel-sided section, if this design is used and on the tapering section. In the case of the latter, the width shall be inscribed for every interval of 1mm and the width shall be indicated at regular intervals.

(2)   Use of the mesh gauge

| (a) | The net shall be kept stretched so that the meshes are stretched in the direction of the long diagonal. |
| --- | --- |

(a)

The net shall be kept stretched so that the meshes are stretched in the direction of the long diagonal.

| (b) | The tapered end of the mesh gauge described in point 1 shall be inserted into the mesh opening in a direction perpendicular to the netting along the long axis of the net. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

The tapered end of the mesh gauge described in point 1 shall be inserted into the mesh opening in a direction perpendicular to the netting along the long axis of the net.

| (c) | The gauge shall be inserted into the mesh opening either manually or using a weight until the mesh gauge is stopped by the resistance of the mesh at the tapering edges. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

The gauge shall be inserted into the mesh opening either manually or using a weight until the mesh gauge is stopped by the resistance of the mesh at the tapering edges.

(3)   Selection of meshes for measuring

| (a) | The meshes to be measured shall form a series of 20 consecutive meshes selected in the direction of the long axis of the net. |
| --- | --- |

(a)

The meshes to be measured shall form a series of 20 consecutive meshes selected in the direction of the long axis of the net.

| (b) | Meshes positioned less than 50 cm from lacings, ropes and codlines shall not be measured. This distance shall be measured perpendicular to the lacings, the ropes or the codline with the net stretched in the direction of measuring. Any mesh that has been mended or torn or to which attachments to the net are fixed shall not be measured. |

Shrimp Toggle Chains

Toggle chains are chains, ropes, or a combination of both, which attach the footrope to the fishing line or bolchline at varying intervals.

The terms ‘fishing line’ and ‘bolchline’ are interchangeable. Some vessels use one line only; others use both a fishing line and a bolchline as shown in the sketch.

The toggle chain length should be measured from the centre of the chain or wire running through the footrope (centre of footrope) to the underside of the fishing line.

The attached sketch shows how to measure the toggle and chain length.
