The objectives of this project were to:
• Use captive observations of Crangon crangon to assess the survival of
discarded Crangon in the Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery in vessels using different
catch sorting devices (rotary riddle and flat screen riddle).
• Assess the vitality and generate inferred survival estimates of discarded
fish species, primarily plaice and sole, in the Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery in
vessels using different catch sorting devices (rotary riddle and flat screen
riddle).
• Identify best practice to minimise discard mortality
