Abstract Horizontal curved, vertical curved and V-shaped otter boards were studied to compare
their relative efficiency under identical fishing conditions. The gear operated
with V-shaped otter boards performed well followed by the gear fitted with horizontal
curved boards. Vertical curved boards were found to be comparatively
less efficient, but with slight modification, can be used advantageously for bottom
and off bottom fishes. Fishing at various depths with horizontal curved and V shaped
otter boards at different scope ratios showed better performance of horizontal
curved boards at a scope ratio of 1:6 and V. shaped otter boards at a scope
ratio of 1:5.
