Gear selectivity and bycatch reduction in the Norwegian Red King Crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) fishery. A study on size-selective performances of different escape openings
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-06-14)This thesis aims to investigate ways to improve the size selective performances of the fishing gear that is currently employed in the fishery for Red King Crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus, in Northern Norway. High bycatch rates of undersized crabs are a source of concern since these individuals have to be sorted out and dicarded into the sea, a procedure that increases the risk for injuries and ... -
Gender roles in fishery planning and projects. The case study of coast region in Tanzania
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2002-05-31)Women play crucial roles in fisheries, particularly on the post harvest level.

How to create value from fisheries bycatch? A case study of the sea cucumber harvested in Galicia
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-06-15)One of the main aims in fisheries management is to obtain sustainable fisheries and reduce the waste and losses. Many fish species lives together in many fishing grounds. Fisheries of target species will thus include other species as bycatch. This thesis analyses potential market oriented solutions to solve the problem through by processing products valuable in the market for those species until now ... -
