Evaluating artificial light as a bycatch reduction device (bycatch reduction light,“BRL”)
requires a multidisciplinary approach that applies knowledge of fisheries science, fishing …

Most fishes and crustaceans respond to light, and artificial light sources may therefore be an
efficient stimulus to manipulate behaviours in aquatic animals. It has been hypothesised that …

A measure proven successful in mitigating harbor porpoise bycatch, is the use of acoustic
deterrents, ie, pingers. However, most pingers are audible to seals. This may lead to seals …

The use of pots in the north Atlantic finfish fisheries is negligible because this fishing method
typically has a low capture efficiency. Large numbers of individuals encounter baited pots …

The swimming crab Charybdis feriata fishery is important to the coastal fishing communities
of Vietnam, particularly in the province of Quang Nam. Trapping is considered a low impact …

In many places, gillnet fishing is considered a conservation threat for air-breathing marine
species. Fish pots represent an alternative to gillnetting; however, due to their low catch …

Sustainability of commercial fisheries is best achieved when fishing gears are selective and
have low impacts on bottom habitat. Pots (baited traps) are a fishing technology that typically …

Small-scale fisheries along the Swedish west coast are often operated by using small
vessels, targeting multiple species by means of pots and gillnets. Fisheries using pots …

The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) is a crustacean species native to European
and North African coastlines that has become one of the world's most successful marine …

Fish pots have lower catch efficiency than gillnets and trawls and, therefore, are rarely used
for catching Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and similar species. Fish-retention devices (FRDs) …
