%0 Journal Article %T Determination of catching efficiency of Eriphia verrucosa Forsk£¿l, (1775) by using traps and skin diving in £¿anakkale Strait %A U£¿ur £¿ZEK£¿NC£¿ %J - %D 2018 %X This study was carried out between April 2016 and March 2017 in order to the determine the catch efficiency of warty crab (Eriphia verrucosa) in £¿anakkale Strait. Fishing experiments were executed with in 6 stations by using traps and skin diving. In the study, 19 diving operations were performed by 2 divers with a mean duration of 36: 03 ¡À 0,002 minutes/dive. In totally 18 traps (3 traps in per stations) were used in 12 fishing trails. The traps soak times were 48 hours for each operation. As a result of fishing experiments, a total of 654 individuals belonging to 3 species and a total of 13 individuals belonging to 6 species were collected with skin diving and traps, respectively. In the experiments, a total of 598 E. verrucosa individuals, 596 of which were caught by skin diving and 2 were caught by traps as a target species. The CPUE for diving (CPUED = 14,32¡À3,12 individual, hours-1) were higher than the mean CPUE for traps (CPUES =0,0601 ¡À0,0186 individual, hours-1) %K £¿anakkale Bo£¿az£¿ %K Eriphia verrucosa %K Pavurya %K Birim Av G¨¹c¨¹ %K Dalarak avc£¿l£¿k %K Sepetle Avc£¿l£¿k %K Birim Av G¨¹c¨¹ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/jmsf/issue/38541/435700
