Sci., 38: 13–21. doi:10.2960/J.v38.m591 A new innovative topless shrimp trawl was designed and tested in the flume tank, and at sea to evaluate its potential of reducing finfish bycatch in the pink shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Maine.

A five-day sea trial was carried out using the alternating tow method to compare the topless trawl and a commercial (control) trawl. The target species was the pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) and the major bycatch species was Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) that formed 90.6% of all bycatch by weight. Comparative fishing indicated that the topless trawl reduced bycatch of Atlantic herring by an average of 86.6%, and at the same time produced a modest increase of 13.5% in the catch of the pink shrimp. There was some increase in the bycatch of flounders, particularly American plaice and winter flounder, though overall amount of flounder bycatch was less than 3% of the total catch. The reduction of Atlantic herring was most likely due to the fish escaping over Text Pandalus borealis Unknown |
