No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This Experimental fishing was conducted by the freezer trawler M/V Puente Sabaris, in international waters of the North Atlantic in February-April 1999. One scientific was on board to collect data and biological material. Seamounts and banks near Azores was explored (Antialtair, Altair, Faraday, Olimpus and Minle) and also Reikjanes Ridge and Hatton Bank. Fishing effort was more intense at Reikjanes and Hatton with deepwater trawling. Most of the catch was obtained at Reikjanes and Hatton. Blue ling (Molva dypterygia) was the most caught species, with high catches at Reikjanes (3652 kg/hr.). Roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris) was the second species in importance, catch mainly at Hatton and Faraday. Other caught species were Boreal shark (Somniosus microcephalus), Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), Smoothhead (Alepocephalus bairdiii), Black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) and Orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus).
