AB  - This study was carried out in six different stations in the Northern Aegean Sea between February-May 2008. In the study, the three different fishing nets which were intensively being used by the region fishermen, the net height of which was 105 meshes and the mesh sizes of which were 44, 46 and 50 mm. In the operations performed with the drive-in fishing method, 5867 and 740 kg fish pertaining to the total 30 species were caught and 4791 were got from bogue being the target species. This value composes of approximately 82% of the total catching. SELECT method was used to fit gill net selectivity curves. Log normal model gave the best fit for the bogue selection. It was observed that modal length and spread values increased as far as the net mesh grew. It was determined that the length groups of bogue individuals we got in our study were quite above the first reproduction length. For this reason, it was seen that the gillnets used in the region did not create fishing pressure over the population.
