• Catch quality and size selectivity in the Barents Sea bottom trawl fishery: effect of codend design and trawling practice 

      Brinkhof, Jesse Vallevik (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-02-15)
      This study focused on two important issues on the Barents Sea bottom trawl fishery for Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua L.); catch quality (i.e., the quality of the fish caught) and size selectivity. The high abundance of cod encountered in recent years in the Barents Sea, leading to subsequent large annual quotas, has led to increased interest in improving the quality of fish caught by trawls. ...

      A major challenge for the aquaculture sector is access to sustainable and cost-effective raw materials for feed. Copepods (Calanus spp.) have potential to meet this need for large volumes of marine raw materials to enable sustainable growth of aquaculture production worldwide. However, the lack of an energy- and catch-efficient trawl technology has limited the development of this fishery in the ...
