      The reduction of juvenile catch and discards are important targets in fisheries policy. This work examines how selection models can predict the size structure (LFD) of discards and landings considering the effects of area, time period, gear and fisher behaviour. Additional exploitation indicators related to the gear used, fisher's selection pattern, and discards were also estimated. The approach is ...
    • Escape, discard, and landing probability in multispecies Mediterranean bottom-trawl fishery

      Commercial bycatch species and their exploitation pattern in the Mediterranean trawl fishery are little studied. The present work examines the overall size-selection pattern, both regarding the trawl in the sea and the fisher onboard the vessel, for seven commercial bycatch species using different codends. The applied selection model predicted the escape, discard, and landing probability for each ...
    • Impacts on biodiversity from codend and fisher selection in bottom trawl fishing

      Fisheries have important impacts on marine biodiversity. In this work, combined information on the abundance, species richness, diversity indices, species composition, trophic level and vulnerability index were examined for the first-time to detect differences in five units related to trawl fishing: the fish assemblage entering the trawl codend, and the escaping, retained, discarded and landed ...
