Mitigating unaccounted fishing mortality from gillnets and traps
Gillnets and traps often are considered to have fewer holistic environmental impacts than
active fishing gears. However, in addition to the targeted catches, gillnets and traps still …

The mitigation hierarchy for sharks: A risk‐based framework for reconciling trade‐offs between shark conservation and fisheries objectives
Sharks and their cartilaginous relatives are one of the world's most threatened species
groups. The primary cause is overfishing in targeted and bycatch fisheries. Reductions in …

[HTML][HTML] Quantification of catch composition in fisheries: A methodology and its application to compare biodegradable and nylon gillnets
When evaluating fishing gear catches, the focus is often on a few species as opposed to the
entire catch. In some fisheries this can lead to ignoring major part of catch composition …

Damage detection of bottom-set gillnet using Artificial Neural Network
This paper presents a method for detecting damage of a bottom-set gillnet based on sensor
fusion and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. In this regard, time-domain numerical …

[HTML][HTML] Effect of gillnet twine thickness on capture pattern and efficiency in the Northeast-Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
Gillnets are among the most common fishing gears worldwide. They are often made of thin
twine, which is prone to wear and tear, limiting the lifespan of the gillnet. This increases …

Bycatch mitigation assessment for sharks caught in coastal anchored gillnets
T Thorpe, D Frierson - Fisheries Research, 2009 - Elsevier
Fishing with modified gillnets was conducted to elucidate their potential for reducing shark
bycatch. Experimental fishing focused on two commercial fisheries, Spanish mackerel …

Experimental Mixed Gillnets Improve Catches of Narrow-Barred Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson)
A new gillnet made from multiple mesh sizes ranging from 125 to 180 mm of stretched mesh
(experimental gillnet) was tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare the fishing …

The effect of monofilament thickness on the catches of gillnets for common sole in the Mediterranean small-scale fishery
Experimental fishing trials were carried out on an Italian commercial vessel to test gillnets of
different monofilament diameters targeting common sole (Solea solea). The gillnets only …
