Increasing sustainability in food production by using alternative bait in snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ) fishery in the barents sea
The use of food grade wild-captured species as bait for other fisheries questions the sustainability of food production. In pot fisheries, bait is an important factor determining the effectiveness of the gear. In snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ) fishery, the pots are normally baited with squid ( Il...

The use of food grade wild-captured species as bait for other fisheries questions the sustainability of food production. In pot fisheries, bait is an important factor determining the effectiveness of the gear.
