Could green artificial light reduce bycatch during Barents Sea Deep-water shrimp trawling?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-31)
The Nordmøre grid is widely used in shrimp trawls to reduce the bycatch of fish species. However, small-sized fish species and juveniles still pass through the grid and enter the codend, along with the targeted shrimp. This bycatch of small fish has a negative impact on the ecosystem due to increased fish mortality, and leads to additional sorting work onboard. Some small-sized fish that enter the ...
CREELSELECT—A method for determining the optimal creel mesh: Case study on Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) fishery in the Mediterranean Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-31)
In the laboratory, we investigated which sizes of <i>Nephrops</i> (<i>Nephrops norvegicus</i>) could pass through the meshes of different size and shape to establish a predictive model for the creels size selectivity. Predictions agreed well with the results from experimental fishing, demonstrating the reliability of this simple method. <i>Nephrops</i> minimum target size is 20 mm carapace length ...
