New approach for modelling size selectivity in shrimp trawl fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-10)
In the deep sea trawl fishery targeting shrimp (Pandalus borealis) and other cold-water shrimp species, fishers often use a Nordmöre sorting grid ahead of a small mesh codend to avoid bycatch. However, small fish can pass through the grid and are subsequently retained in the codend. This makes shrimp size selection complex and the size-dependent curve for both the shrimp and the bycatch species often ...
Performance of the Nordmøre grid in shrimp trawling and potential effects of guiding funnel length and light stimulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-31)
The introduction of the Nordmøre grid to shrimp trawls has reduced the issue of bycatch to that of small-sized species and juveniles that are able to pass through the grid and enter the small-meshed cod end together with the targeted shrimp. This study estimated the size- and species-selective performance of the Nordmøre grid in the configuration most often applied by fishermen and made a preliminary ...
