  Author(s): Ajay VS* and Amrutha Krishnan R
  
  Gill net (Locally called odakku vala) design variation, operational techniques, catch composition and selectivity analysis in Vembanad wetland, Kerala was examined between January 2020 to June 2021. Netting materials used for gill net construction in Vembanad Lake were monofilament, multifilament Nylon (polyamide). The Gill net length was 25-55 m with a hung depth of 2-3 m. Gill net was highly species specific and showed selectivity for shallow water species. Its durability ranged from 3.5 months to 2 years depending on the netting material and the environmental conditions where it is being operated.
