Groundfish Trawl Nets Designed to Reduce the Bycatch of Cod: catch data from Fishing Vessels NEC-MP2000-2 in the Gulf of Maine from 2000-2002 (NEC-CoopRes project)
<p>Testing of two experimental trawl nets established that catch rates of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua could be reduced from standard practices while allowing the targeting of flatfish Pleuronectidae. The Ribas and topless nets both modify the top half of a trawl net; the Ribas net by using large...
