Summary:9 páginas, 1 figura, 2 tablas.-- Scientific Council Meeting During the EU bottom trawl survey on Flemish Cap in July 1999 - 2001, a comparative trial between the Lofoten survey gear and a Campelen 1800 shrimp trawl was carried out. Results are interpreted based on the main differences between both gears: the gear geometry, being the vertical opening of the Campelen gear the highest, the footrope, being the Lofoten the lightest, and the cod - end mesh size, being the Campelen one the smalle This study was supported by the European Commission (DG XIV, Study 00 - 028), CSIC, IEO, IPIMAR and the Basque Government Peer reviewed
