Gillnets can cause impacts on marine ecosystems when they become abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG). Fishing gear marking is a tool to address ALDFG and its impacts. This study aims to compare the characteristics and fishing activities of fishers in small-scale fishery (SSF) and industrial fishery (IDF) as well as their viewpoints on fishing gear marking practice. Data were collected during July-November 2020 from 95 fishers in five coastal provinces of Thailand. Most fishers used crab gillnets; besides, fishing capability and intensity of fishers in IDF were higher than in SSF. Awareness of fishing gear marking practice of fishers in IDF was higher than in SSF, but acceptance was not different. Preferred material was fabric for fishers in SSF and plastic for fishers in IDF. Most fishers anticipated government as producer. Moreover, further studies are needed to develop suitable materials, installation and cost for fishing gear marking.
