Lineage

The EliminatorTM trawl was developed for the fisheries of the Northeastern USA to reduce the catches of cod while still permitting harvesting of other commercially important species. The gear has also been shown to be effective at reducing cod catches in the mixed roundfish fisheries of the North Sea. The present trial involved collaboration between the fishing industry and Cefas scientists to see whether a net based on the ideas of the Eliminator trawl could be used in the North Sea saithe fishery. The net used was a version of the Eliminator trawl scaled-up to the size of trawl typically used in the saithe fishery. The net was tested by the MFV “Farnella” in a series of paired hauls, using first the test gear then the vessel‟s normal trawl. In all cases, catches were much lower in the test net than in the control net, with catches of saithe being notably affected. The results of the trials suggest that the design of net investigated is not suitable for use in the North Sea saithe fishery.
