Abstract

The catch of beach-seine operating in East Coast of the United Arab Emirates during the period from January to December 2022 was investigated. The catch composition was represented by 37 species belong to 22 families. Engraulidae, Leiognathidae, Clupeidae and Carangidae were the most dominants families, represented by 34.21, 22.62, 19.28 and 11.14% in mass respectively. A total of 46210kg of fish were caught by 41 beach seines in the study areas. Monthly CPUE ranged from 430 to 1446kg per operation. The highest CPUE was recorded in March, while the lowest CPUE was in July. In the present study, the average catch of beach seine was 1,127.07kg/haul/boat. In conclusion, the use of beach seines for fishing can help to sustainably manage fisheries by targeting specific populations of fish and reducing bycatch. It can also provide food and income for local communities.
