      abstract = {Fishing gear are equipment or devices used for fishing. Fishing gears vary greatly in their structure, materials used and principles of capture process and methods of operation. Traps are impounding devices into which an organism is lured either for food or shelter and are unable to escape. There are a wide number of fishing gears devices constructed using diverse technologies and methods use in operating them. These gears have been broadly classified as per the FAO classification of fishing gears. Fishing gears are of various shapes, designs and sizes depending on the area of operation and the behaviour of target fishes and are mostly made up of various materials. The choice of fishing gear, principal mechanism of capture fish, and gear designing techniques was discussed. They major categories of fishing gears technologies which includes active gear, passive gear and miscellaneous, unorthodox and obnoxious methods/practices was discussed. The methodology of the use of these fishing gears, their description, possible effects both positive and negative on the water body and the environment was discussed. Furthermore, new innovations (mechanization) to improve the efficiency of gears and thus the fishery are addressed in the light of rapid socioeconomic changes within the fishery industry.  Illustrative figures on fishing gear technology and fishing methods were shown and discussed. From experience with fishing gear and literatures on the subject, there has been a continuum in development of fishing gears, with evolution resulting from modernization factors. The adaptation of new technologies could help small scale fisheries increase their catch, but the introduction of any new fishing technology always demands good rational management and regulation. Vessels must also march with new fishing methods and gear. As gears become more complex, it may require updating of vessels in size, power and design. A basic understanding of the properties, function and operation of the major fishing gears and methods is therefore fundamental hence recommended for decision making in fisheries management, particularly when it comes to technical measures in fisheries regulations.},
