Reduction of fish bycatch in shrimp trawl using a solid separator grid in the aft belly
During 1989-90 a new concept to avoid bycatch of fish in shrimp trawl has been developed in Norway. The system consists of an aluminium grid, 0.6 - 1.0 m wide and 1.3 - l.5 m long, with bars spaced 19 mm. The grid is installed in the extention piece in front of the codend, angled 45º, and with a fis...
