      The management of multispecies fisheries, such as the Mediterranean bottom trawl fishery, is always a challenge. However, information on gear selectivity and discards has been studied separately so far. In this paper, the overall size-selection pattern by the trawl codend in the sea and by the fisher onboard the vessel is investigated for four commercially important fish species, Mullus barbatus, ...
    • Modelling gear and fishers size selection for escapees, discards, and landings: a case study in Mediterranean trawl fisheries 

      Mytilineou, Chryssi; Herrmann, Bent; Mantopoulou-Palouka, Danai; Sala, Antonello; Megalofonou, Persefoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-19)
      Gear selectivity and discards are important issues related to fisheries management but separately modelled. This work examines for the first time the overall size-selection pattern on the total amount of individuals of a species entering the trawl codend. An innovative approach was used based on modelling the escapement through the codend in the sea and the subsequently selection process by the ...
