Optimum Mesh Size in Redfish Fisheries in the North Atlantic

Results of investigations by Russian scientists into the selectivity of trawl codends with mesh size from 88 to 137 mm in redfish fisheries are presented in this paper. Codend selectivity experiments were conducted in the Northwest Atlantic. The paper examines the selectivity characteristics of code...

Description
Summary:Results of investigations by Russian scientists into the selectivity of trawl codends with mesh size from 88 to 137 mm in redfish fisheries are presented in this paper. Codend selectivity experiments were conducted in the Northwest Atlantic. The paper examines the selectivity characteristics of codends, identifies benefits resulting from modifications in mesh size in the redfish fishery and explains why the increase in mesh size in the Northwest Atlantic redfish fishery is inappropriate.
