    • Accounting for Uncertainties in Biodiversity Estimations: A New Methodology and Its Application to the Mesopelagic Sound Scattering Layer of the High Arctic 

      Herrmann, Bent; Cerbule, Kristine; Brčić, Jure; Grimaldo Vela, Eduardo Enrique; Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-27)
      Measures of biological diversity (biodiversity) are important for monitoring the state of ecosystems. Several indices and methods are used to describe biodiversity from field observations. Marine faunal biodiversity is often quantified based on analysis of samples collected using a trawl during research surveys. To monitor spatial and temporal changes in biodiversity between surveys, samples are ...

    • Bycatch reduction in the deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery by increasing codend mesh openness 

      Jacques, Nadine; Cerbule, Kristine; Pettersen, Hermann; Herrmann, Bent; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Grimaldo, Vela Eduardo; Brčić, Jure; Lilleng, Dagfinn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)
      In most trawl fisheries, drag forces tend to close the meshes in large areas of diamond mesh codends, negatively affecting their selective potential. In the Barents Sea deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, selectivity is based on a sorting grid followed by a diamond mesh codend. However, the retention of juvenile fish as well as undersized shrimp is still a problem. In this study, ...

    • Bycatch reduction in the deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery with a large mesh top panel 

      Cerbule, Kristine; Jacques, Nadine; Pettersen, Hermann; Ingólfsson, Ólafur Arnar; Herrmann, Bent; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Sistiaga, Manu; Lilleng, Dagfinn; Brčić, Jure (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-08)
      In the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, the bycatch of juvenile fish and shrimp represents a problem. This study evaluated if inserting a 200 mm mesh size top-panel in the last three sections of the tapered upper belly section of the trawl could reduce bycatch of juveniles while maintaining the catch efficiency for deep-water shrimp. The bycatch species ...

    • Can a large-mesh sieve panel replace or supplement the Nordmøre grid for bycatch mitigation in the northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp fishery? 

      Jacques, Nadine; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Brčić, Jure; Gökçe, Gökhan; Brinkhof, Jesse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-26)
      The Nordmøre grid is the principle bycatch mitigation device in many shrimp trawl fisheries. However, in several of these fisheries, bycatch is a problem because small sized fish can pass through the grid and enter the codend together with the targeted shrimp. One such fishery is the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp (<i>Pandalus borealis</i>) fishery, where the use of a Nordmøre grid is mandatory. ...

    • Can biodegradable materials reduce plastic pollution without decreasing catch efficiency in longline fishery? 

      Cerbule, Kristine; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Brčić, Jure; Vollstad, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-23)
      Longlining is a widely used fishing method. During longline fishing, some of the snoods connecting the hooks to the mainline are often lost at sea. Since snoods are made of nylon or polyester, lost snoods contribute to marine plastic pollution. Replacing nylon or polyester with a new material made of biodegradable plastics can potentially reduce macro- and microplastic pollution that is caused by ...

    • Could green artificial light reduce bycatch during Barents Sea Deep-water shrimp trawling? 

      Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Brčić, Jure; Brinkhof, Jesse; Tatone, Ivan (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 

      Brčić, Jure; Herrmann, Bent; Mašanović, Marina; Šifner, Svjetlana Krstulović; Škeljo, Frane (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 ...

    • Escape, discard and landing probability of Nephrops norvegicus in the Mediterranean Sea creel fishery 

      Mašanović, Marina; Herrmann, Bent; Brčić, Jure (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Size selection in creel fishery consists of two processes: the first taking place in the creel on the seabed and the second made by the fisher on the vessel. However, no study has ever considered both processes when assessing the size selection in creel fisheries. This study presents a framework for including both and demonstrates it to predict the effect of mesh size and shape on the creel fishery ...

    • Influence of soak time on catch performance of commercial creels targeting Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) in the Mediterranean Sea 

      Brčić, Jure; Herrmann, Bent; Mašanović, Marina; Šifner, Svjetlana Krstulović; Škeljo, Frane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-13)
      Creel catch performance is known to be affected by the soak time in many fisheries. If creels maintained their efficiency over longer periods, increase in soak time should lead to proportional increase in catch quantity. However, the exact shape of this relationship is unknown for creel fisheries targeting Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus). If it was known fishermen could adjust their fishing ...

    • Prediction of potential net panel selectivity in mesopelagic trawls 

      Grimaldo, Eduardo; Herrmann, Bent; Brčić, Jure; Cerbule, Kristine; Brinkhof, Jesse; Grimsmo, Leif; Jacques, Nadine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-17)
      The growing interest in harvesting mesopelagic fish species has increased the need for knowledge about how trawls should be designed for optimizing the catch efficiency of these resources. Since the net herding efficiency for small mesopelagic fish species is unknown, trawls targeting these species need to consider the potential net panel selectivity along the entire trawl body. Therefore, trawl ...

    • Size selection of Nephrops norvegicus (L.) in commercial creel fishery in the Mediterranean Sea 

      Brčić, Jure; Herrmann, Bent; Mašanović, Marina; Baranović, Mateja; Šifner, Svjetlana Krstulović; Škeljo, Frane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-23)
      In the Mediterranean Sea <i>Nephrops</i> (<i>Nephrops norvegicus</i>) is predominantly caught with bottom trawls, but it is also harvested with creels. While the size selection of <i>Nephrops</i> in bottom trawls is well documented, there is no previous information on creel size selection for this species. Therefore, sea trials were carried out to assess the selective properties of commercial creels ...

    • Use of biodegradable materials to reduce marine plastic pollution in small scale coastal longline fisheries 

      Cerbule, Kristine; Herrmann, Bent; Trumbić, Željka; Petrić, Mirela; Šifner, Svjetlana Krstulović; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Larsen, Roger B.; Brčić, Jure (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-14)
      Pollution from lost, abandoned, or discarded fishing gear is recognized as a global nature conservation concern. Longlining with hooks is a commonly applied fishing method in fisheries around the world. The longline gear consists of a mainline with a number of baited hooks that are attached to it by thinner twine (snoods) which are often made of plastic material such as polyamide (nylon) or ...
