      Several shrimp trawl fisheries use a Nordmöre sorting grid to avoid bycatch of fish. However, small fish can pass through the grid. Therefore, the retention of juvenile fish often remains an issue during shrimp trawling. We investigated the vertical distribution of deepwater shrimp (<i>Pandalus borealis</i>) and dominant bycatch species at the point where the Nordmöre grid section is installed. This ...
