| Objective | Improving selectivity of bottom trawls in mixed Nephrops/hake fisheries in the Bay of Biscay. In the framework of reducing discards in the mixed Nephrops/hake fishery, the cruise's objective was to test the influence of part of the right side of a trawl made entirely of square meshes of the same size as those of regulation trawl codends. To do so, the twin-rig trawl technique was used to obtain qualitative and quantitative comparisons of catches between the select trawl and the reference trawl. The interest of this method is to obtain comparative data for each haul. This was part of the TECOS project. |
