Substained fishing with Antillean style S-shaped and arrowhead wire mesh fish traps was undertaking on and around coral reefs in northern Papua New Guinea. Catches by weight and numbers versus soak time confirmed to asympotic curves with maxima after five days immersion. Over 30 different families of fish were taken by the traps, but in trap designs, catches were dominated by surgeonfish.
