Traps (or pots) are one of the oldest and most widespread scientific survey gears for fish and
decapod crustaceans around the world. Here, I review and synthesize the extensive …

To develop ways to catch fewer undersized specimens of Jasus frontalis in the traps of the
rock lobster fishery off the Juan Fernández Archipelago (Chile), we studied the use of lobster …

This study investigated the behaviour and commercial catchability of snow crab
(Chionoecetes opilio) in response to different low-powered LED lights under laboratory and …

In commercial snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery, the catch efficiency of the conical
pots is important for increasing the profitability of the industry. This study evaluated the effect …

In the commercial pot fishery for snow crab (Chionocetes opilio), size selection by the pots is
important for reducing catch sorting and unintended mortality. In addition to mesh size and …

Sustainable development of the important economic species, Asian paddle crab (Charybdis
