Otter trawling for fish is one of the world's most productive yet problematic fishing methods
due to its bycatch and discards; issues that have been mitigated in some fisheries by …

The majority of trawl selectivity studies for the three redfish species of particular commercial
importance in North Atlantic fisheries: Sebastes marinus, Sebastes mentella and Sebastes …

Herein we propose a method to assess dual selection in grid based selectivity systems. This
method takes into account the parameter “grid contact likelihood”(Cgrid), which can be …

Bycatch of rays and skates in towed fishing gears represents one of the major threats to
these relatively slow-growing marine species. The objective of this study was to modify …

A lightweight sorting grid was developed to reduce bycatch in the Danish small-meshed
trawl fishery (22 mm full mesh in the cod end) for Norway pout in the North Sea …

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 …

We investigated the selectivity of cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus
aeglefinus) escaping from three different selection systems (a conventional diamond-mesh …

This investigation demonstrates how a multidisciplinary approach based on the
FISHSELECT framework, sea trial data, underwater recordings, and laboratory …

Many jurisdictions have introduced management regimes prohibiting or limiting discarding,
and a key objective of the European Union Common Fisheries Policy is the gradual …

FLEXSELECT is a simple counter-herding device that aims at reducing the bycatch of fish by
scaring them away from the trawl path without affecting the catches of the target species …
