    • Effect of gillnet twine thickness on capture pattern and efficiency in the Northeast-Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery 

      Brinkhof, Ilmar; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Vollstad, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-15)
      Gillnets are among the most common fishing gears worldwide. They are often made of thin twine, which is prone to wear and tear, limiting the lifespan of the gillnet. This increases gillnet turnover, and consequently increased risk of gear discarding, gear loss, ghost fishing and marine pollution. This might be mitigated by increasing twine thickness, and thereby breaking strength. However, the ...

    • How does twine thickness and mesh size affect catch efficiency and ways of capture in the Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) gillnet fishery? 

      Brinkhof, Ilmar (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-31)
      The aim of this study is to establish a general pattern for how round-fish get caught in gillnets. Understanding these patterns might further help establishing which gillnet parameters are important to consider when developing new biodegradable materials for gillnets. Developing biodegradable materials is important to reduce impacts from lost, abandoned, and discarded gillnets made of non-biodegradable ...

    • Is there a limit to the potential effects of shortening lastridge ropes on the size selectivity of diamond mesh codends? 

      Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Brinkhof, Jesse; Larsen, Roger B.; Santos, Juan; Stepputtis, Daniel; Brinkhof, Ilmar; Jacques, Nadine; Cerbule, Kristine; Petetta, Andrea; Cuende, Elsa; Kvalvik, Liz Beate Kolstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-21)
      Shortening codend lastridge ropes can be an effective fishing gear modification to improve the size selection properties in diamond mesh codends. Lastridge ropes attached to codend selvedges withstand the longitudinal forces created by the catch building up and therefore, prevent the codend meshes from closing. However, the extent to which the lastridge ropes should be shortened to maximize the ...

    • Potential for codends with shortened lastridge ropes to replace mandated selection devices in demersal trawl fisheries 

      Sistiaga, Manu; Brinkhof, Jesse; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Cerbule, Kristine; Brinkhof, Ilmar; Jørgensen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-28)
      In many trawl fisheries, codend size selectivity is supplemented by adding selection devices to the gear. In the Barents Sea gadoid fishery, combining diamond mesh codends with sorting grids is compulsory. However, the use of grids increases the costs and complexity of the gear, causing discontent among fishermen and prompting researchers to seek alternative solutions. Lastridge ropes are ropes ...

    • Used vs. new: Does it have consequences for the performance of fishing gear? 

      Sistiaga, Manu; Jørgensen, Terje; Brinkhof, Ilmar; Herrmann, Bent; Brinkhof, Jesse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-06)
      Sea trials to test size selectivity equipment in trawls are often limited in time because they are costly, and the results can be influenced by multiple factors that are often overlooked. In the Barents Sea gadoid trawl fishery, the use of a size sorting grid in front of the codend is compulsory. The flexigrid, a netting section containing two flexible grids, is the most widely used grid section in ...
