Fishing gear is widely used in fishery production, and its correct use and maintenance are of great significance for reducing cost, improving economic benefits and prolonging service life. To do a good job of fishing gear storage, the physical and chemical properties of all kinds of fishing gear should be understood first. For example, some production units put nylon and nylon nets in the open air for a long time exposure, resulting in a drop in the strength of the network line, reduce the use of fishing gear, often resulting in greater economic losses. Therefore, the storage and maintenance of fishing gear should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Before the storage of fishing gear, the dirt on the fishing gear, such as mud, greasy fish and other attachments should be washed with fresh water, and then dry, and remove floating, sinking and other gear, respectively. Before storage, the hook should be cleaned, sharpened, and coated with anti-rust oil, and then stored in a dry place.

(2) The storage place should be ventilated without direct sunlight. For the number of small and small fishing gear, can be tied to the roof beam hanging. For a large number of large size of fishing gear, should be stored in a high foundation, with good ventilation conditions of the warehouse.

(3) Check frequently during storage. When the weather is clear and the air is dry, the warehouse doors and Windows should be opened to make the air circulate. In the case of rain or high temperature, the doors and Windows of the warehouse should be strictly closed, do not open at will. The warehouse should pay more attention to the rainy season or summer season, because the net and rope made of plant fiber are easy to mold, once the weather is fine, it should be immediately displayed in the sun to dry, when necessary, the appropriate spray fungicide. The warehouse should also pay attention to insecticide, rodent and other work.

(4) Although synthetic fibers have good corrosion resistance than plant fibers, some synthetic fibers, such as acrylic fiber and polyamide fiber, will also produce mold spots in the case of high temperature and high humidity for a long time, and the material strength will also be affected. So these synthetic fiber made of fishing gear should also pay attention to ventilation and drying. Most synthetic fibers lack good resistance to light. Do not expose fishing gear made of such materials to the sun for a long time. Some synthetic fiber mesh should not be excessively folded and bent, so as not to affect the strength of the network cable and reduce the service life.

(5) in the operation or the temporary end of the operation, should be washed fishing gear, remove debris, which is not only close to the fishing effect, but also the protection of fishing gear. If you do not remove the debris attached to the mesh, when the operation, the mesh will be torn due to uneven force.
