Færre kongekrabber i torskegarn med notpanel :: Cod gillnets with a net panel reduce the king crab bycatch

Abstract

I utbredelsesområdet til kongekrabben er den blitt et økende problem i garnfiske etter torsk. Forsøk viser at et notskjørt nederst på garna gir betydelig mindre kongekrabbe i fangsten, men samtidig reduseres torskefangstene noe.

Within its range, the king crab has become an increasing problem in gillnet fisheries for cod. Experiments show that skirts at the bottom of the gillnets significantly reduce the bycatch of king crab, but also slightly lower the catch rates of cod.
