Fishing with an artificial light stimulus has existed for thousands of years. It started with
simple techniques such as burning a large fire on the beach to attract fish, but over the …

Stock overexploitation, bycatch, discards and gear impacts on the environment are
outstanding issues for Mediterranean fisheries. The adoption of alternative fishing gears is …

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

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been tested in trawl fisheries to reduce the bycatch of
unwanted species through behavioural stimulation. Previous studies used LED lights to …

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 …

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 …

The Nordmøre grid is widely used in shrimp trawls to reduce the bycatch of fish species.
However, small-sized fish species and juveniles still pass through the grid and enter the …

With the growing grey seal population in the Baltic Sea, the inshore cod fishery has suffered
dramatic increases in both catch losses and damage to fishing gear. To mitigate this …

To address the challenges of the Landing Obligation, fishers need to be able to adjust the
selective performance of each fishing operation in response to what they observe on the …

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 …
