Can active behaviour stimulators improve fish separation from Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) in a horizontally divided trawl codend?
Melli, Valentina; Krag, L.A.; Herrmann, Bent; Karlsen, J.D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03)A promising design to improve selectivity in the Nephrops-directed trawl fishery is the horizontally divided trawl codend. Previous studies have succeeded in separating the majority of fish from Nephrops; however, cod ... -
The capability of square-meshes and fixed-shape meshes to control codend size selection
Bak-Jensen, Zita; Herrmann, Bent; Santos, Juan; Melli, Valentina; Stepputtis, Daniel; Feekings, Jordan P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Trawl codends are commonly made of diamond-mesh netting. However, diamond-mesh codends vary in mesh geometry along its length and during fishing due to catch build up. This introduces variability in the size selection ... -
Predicting optimal combinations of by‐catch reduction devices in trawl gears: A meta‐analytical approach
Melli, Valentina; Herrmann, Bent; Karlsen, Junita Diana; Feekings, Jordan; Krag, Ludvig Ahm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Global efforts to reduce unwanted catches have led to the development of a vast array of by‐catch reduction devices (BRDs), in particular for mixed trawl fisheries. Some of these BRDs could likely benefit from being combined. ...
