Can biodegradable materials reduce plastic pollution without decreasing catch efficiency in longline fishery?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Longlining is a widely used fishing method. During longline fishing, some of the snoods connecting the hooks to the mainline are often lost at sea. Since snoods are made of nylon or polyester, lost snoods contribute to ... -
Effect of gillnet twine thickness on capture pattern and efficiency in the Northeast-Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)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 gillnet turnover, and consequently increased ... -
The effect of long-term use on the Catch efficiency of Biodegradable gillnets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The effect of long-term use on the catch efficiency of biodegradable gillnets was investigated during commercial fishing trials and in controlled lab aging tests. The relative catch efficiency between biodegradable and ... -
Effects of mine tailing exposure on early life stages of cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Mining and processing of minerals produce large quantities of tailings as waste. Some countries, including Norway, allow disposal of mine tailings in the sea. In this study we investigated the impacts of tailings from a ... -
Ghost fishing efficiency by lost, abandoned or discarded pots in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Marine pollution by lost, abandoned or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) often has negative impact on the ecosystem through plastic pollution and continuous capture of marine animals, so-called “ghost fishing”. ALDFG ... -
Use of biodegradable materials to reduce marine plastic pollution in small scale coastal longline fisheries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Pollution from lost, abandoned, or discarded fishing gear is recognized as a global nature conservation concern. Longlining with hooks is a commonly applied fishing method in fisheries around the world. The longline gear ...
