      West, Charles W.; Valdemarsen, John Willy; Isaksen, Bjørnar (ICES CM Documents;1984/B:12, Working paper, 1984)
      A prototype shrimp-fish separator to be installed between the body and codend of a shrimp trawl was designed and constructed. The separator uses large square meshes to provide an escape path for fish, while funnels ...
    • Recent developments on blue whiting trawls in Norway. 

      Isaksen, Bjørnar; Jensen, Hans; Olsen, Steinar (ICES CM Documents;1979/B:24, Working paper, 1979)
      Two new blue whiting trawls with very large meshes in the front part have been tested with regard to towing resistance, operational qualities and catching efficiency. The results confirm that the large mesh design is quite ...
    • Reduction of fish bycatch in shrimp trawl using a solid separator grid in the aft belly 

      Isaksen, Bjørnar; Valdemarsen, John Willy; Larsen, Roger B. (ICES CM documents;1990/B:47, Working paper, 1990)
      During 1989-90 a new concept to avoid bycatch of fish in shrimp trawl has been developed in Norway. The system consists of an aluminium grid, 0.6 - 1.0 m wide and 1.3 - l.5 m long, with bars spaced 19 mm. The grid is ...
    • Scale damage and survival of cod and haddock escaping from a demersal trawl 

      Soldal, Aud Vold; Isaksen, Bjørnar; Marteinsson, Jon Einar; Engås, Arill (ICES CM Documents;1991/B:44, Working paper, 1991)
      Cod (Gadus morhua L.) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus L.) escaping through the meshes of a cod-end (135 mm diamond meshes) or through a metal grid sorting device mounted in the foremost part of the cod-end, were ...
    • Selection and survival in the Norwegian shrimp trawl fisheries 

      Isaksen, Bjørnar; Soldal, Aud Vold (PINRO-IMR Symposium, Conference object, 1997)
      Shrimp trawling has aiways been associated with large bycatches. The problems are solely due to the small mesh sizes generally used in shrimp trawl compared to mesh size in trawls used for various groundfish. During the ...
    • Selectivity experiments with square mesh codends in bottom trawl 

      Isaksen, Bjørnar; Valdemarsen, John Willy (ICES CM Documents;1986/B:28, Working paper, 1986)
      During selectivity experiments with square and diamond mesh codends, an evaluation of the covered codend method and a modified trouser trawl method went in favour of the last one. Both twisted knotless- and braided ...
    • Size- and species selection in Danish seine 

      Isaksen, Bjørnar (IMR/PINRO Joint Report Series, Conference object, 2001)
      The Norwegian seine fishery has traditionally been performed in relative shallow water close to the coast, and this as inevitable led to a high proportion of small fish in the catches. A work on size selectivity was therefore ...
