FSP Modified commercial trawl survey

Abstract

To learn more about the behaviour of cod and other fish as they enter the net by modifying a standard NE coast trawl to hold two separator panels running the entire length of the net. A series of hauls will be undertaken to see where cod and the other fish are captured in the net. This will lead to better designs of cod-avoidance gears.

Lineage

FV Our Lass II (WY 261), a twin-rig trawler, was chartered for the fishing trials that took place over the period 15–29 September 2011 to coincide with the mixed fishery off Co Durham and Northumberland that traditionally is followed by English vessels working from North Sea ports. Our Lass II has taken part in previous fishing trials with Cefas in ICES Area IVb aimed at reducing catches of cod, although conservation measures require her to work in the Norwegian sector targeting saithe for most of the year. Her particulars are described elsewhere (e.g. Revill et al., 2009). All fishing took place in statistical rectangles 38E8, 38E9, 39E8 and 39E9. Bottom depths ranged between 48 and 101 m. The catch consisted mainly of whiting, haddock and cod, with lesser quantities of plaice, lemon sole and monkfish. <span style="font-family: Calibri;">...</span>
