Rick, they do not. Gillnets have an associated release mortality that is high, probably in the neighborhood of 40%, at least...but that doesn't make them "non-selective"...it makes them selective with a 40% release mortality.

"Selective" is a term of art, and co-opting it to mean "purse seines are and gillnets aren't" doesn't chage that.

Fish on...
