Prediction of square mesh panel and codend size selectivity of blue whiting based on fish morphology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)Square mesh panels (SMPs) are selective devices used extensively to supplement codend size selectivity in trawl fisheries. Therefore, predictions of the effect of mesh size in both SMPs and codends on size selectivity are valuable. Here, we established a framework to predict the size selection of blue whiting through different SMPs and diamond mesh codends based on the morphological characteristics ... -

In recent decades, the receptor has been extensively studied with the intention being to understand ... -
Integrating dispersal along freshwater ecosystems into species distribution models
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-29)<i>Aim</i> - Our ability to model species distributions and abundances is a valuable ecological tool in predicting future distributions of species. Effectively incorporating connectivity into these predictions is crucial; however, many connectivity measures utilize metrics which may not have a direct relation to the dispersal capacity of the species they are attempting to model. The identification ... -
Effect of mechanical properties of monofilament twines on the catch efficiency of biodegradable gillnets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)Gillnets made of the biodegradable resin polybutylene succinate co-adipate-co-terephthalate were tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare their fishing performance with that of conventional nylon polyamide (PA) gillnets. Both types of gillnets were made of 0.55 mm Ø monofilaments. However, since the biodegradable nets are weaker than nylon PA nets when using the same monofilament diameter, ... -
