Can vertical separation of species in trawls be utilized to reduce bycatch in shrimp fisheries?
Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent; Brcic, Jure; Sistiaga, Manu; Cerbule, Kristine; Nielsen, Kåre Nolde; Jacques, Nadine; Lomeli, Mark Joseph Max; Tokac, Adnan; Cuende, Elsa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Several shrimp trawl fisheries use a Nordmöre sorting grid to avoid bycatch of fish. However, small fish can pass through the grid. Therefore, the retention of juvenile fish often remains an issue during shrimp trawling. ... -
Escape of hake (Merluccius merluccius), horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) and blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) in codends with shortened lastridge ropes
Cuende, Elsa; Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Basterretxea, Mikel; Arregi, Luis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Diamond meshes in trawl codends have limited openness, which reduces escape opportunities for roundfish. Shortening the lastridge ropes (LR) attached to codend selvedges can increase the availability of open meshes resulting ... -
Is there a limit to the potential effects of shortening lastridge ropes on the size selectivity of diamond mesh codends?
Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Brinkhof, Jesse; Larsen, Roger B.; Santos, Juan; Stepputtis, Daniel; Brinkhof, Ilmar; Jacques, Nadine; Cerbule, Kristine; Petetta, Andrea; Cuende, Elsa; Kvalvik, Liz Beate Kolstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Shortening codend lastridge ropes can be an effective fishing gear modification to improve the size selection properties in diamond mesh codends. Lastridge ropes attached to codend selvedges withstand the longitudinal ... -
Optimizing size selectivity and catch patterns for hake (Merluccius merluccius) and blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) by combining square mesh panel and codend designs
Cuende, Elsa; Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Arregi, Luis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Gear modifications in fisheries are usually implemented to obtain catch patterns that meet management objectives. In the Basque bottom trawl fishery, gear regulations include the use of a square mesh panel (SMP) placed at ... -
Prediction of square mesh panel and codend size selectivity of blue whiting based on fish morphology
Cuende, Elsa; Arregi, Luis; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu; Aboitiz, Xabier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Square mesh panels (SMPs) are selective devices used extensively to supplement codend size selectivity in trawl fisheries. Therefore, predictions of the effect of mesh size in both SMPs and codends on size selectivity are ... -
Release efficiency and selectivity of four different square mesh panel configurations in the Basque mixed bottom trawl fishery
Cuende, Elsa; Arregi, Luis; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Basterretxea, Mikel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Reduction of discards from the Basque mixed bottom trawl fishery is a challenge. To improve the selective properties of the gear used by the fleet and supplement codend size selection, a square mesh panel (SMP) installed ... -
Stimulating release of undersized fish through a square mesh panel in the Basque otter trawl fishery
Cuende, Elsa; Arregi, Luis; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Onandia, Inigo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Discards of regulated species in the Basque mixed trawl fishery are a challenge. In 2006, a square mesh panel (SMP) was introduced in the fishery to increase the release efficiency of undersized fish. However, studies have ...
