    • The capability of square-meshes and fixed-shape meshes to control codend size selection 

      Bak-Jensen, Zita; Santos, Juan; Melli, Valentina; Stepputtis, Daniel; Feekings, Jordan P.; Herrmann, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-11)
      Trawl codends are commonly made of diamond-mesh netting. However, diamond-mesh codends vary in mesh geometry along its length and during fishing due to catch build up. This introduces variability in the size selection process. This phenomenon compromises the rationality of regulating exploitation patterns in trawl fisheries through adjustments in codend mesh size. One technical solution often ...

    • Escape panels in trawls: does placement matter when every individual contacting the panel can escape? 

      Melli, Valentina; Herrmann, Bent; Frandsen, Rikke P.; Malta, Tiago Veiga; Feekings, Jordan P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)
      Escape panels are one of the bycatch reduction devices most used in trawl fisheries but their efficiency rely on fish actively contacting the panel to escape. To investigate if contact behaviour changes at different panel placements, we tested a 300 mm square mesh panel placed in the upper panel of the codend at 3, 4 and 7 m from the codline. Seven competing models of contact probability were fitted ...
