Assessing the impact of buffer towing on the quality of Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caught with a bottom trawl
Brinkhof, Jesse; Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent; Olsen, Stein Harris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10)The dense aggregations of Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Barents Sea have led to a new fishing practice termed “buffer towing.” In this fishery, many trawlers redeploy the trawl directly after taking the catch ... -

Can biodegradable materials reduce plastic pollution without decreasing catch efficiency in longline fishery?
Cerbule, Kristine; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Brčić, Jure; Vollstad, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Longlining is a widely used fishing method.
