Assessment of Diamond Cod-end Mesh Size on Catch Composition in a Celtic Sea Nephrops Trawl Fishery
Description
The new Common Fisheries Policy is likely to
incentivise uptake of technical solutions to deal with the impending requirement to land catches which were formerly discarded. Recent studies carried out by BIM have exposed the potential benefits of quad-rig Configurations and large meshed square mesh panels in significantly reducing discards of cod, haddock and whiting in Nephrops trawl fisheries.
