Accounting for Uncertainties in Biodiversity Estimations: A New Methodology and Its Application to the Mesopelagic Sound Scattering Layer of the High Arctic
Herrmann, Bent; Cerbule, Kristine; Brčić, Jure; Grimaldo Vela, Eduardo Enrique; Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin; Berge, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Measures of biological diversity (biodiversity) are important for monitoring the state of ecosystems. Several indices and methods are used to describe biodiversity from field observations. Marine faunal biodiversity is ... -
Bycatch reduction in the deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery by increasing codend mesh openness
Jacques, Nadine; Pettersen, Hermann; Cerbule, Kristine; Herrmann, Bent; Ingólfsson, Ólafur Arnar; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Grimaldo, Vela Eduardo; Brčić, Jure; Lilleng, Dagfinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In most trawl fisheries, drag forces tend to close the meshes in large areas of diamond mesh codends, negatively affecting their selective potential. In the Barents Sea deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, ... -
Bycatch reduction in the deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery with a large mesh top panel
Cerbule, Kristine; Jacques, Nadine; Pettersen, Hermann; Ingólfsson, Ólafur Arnar; Herrmann, Bent; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Sistiaga, Manu; Lilleng, Dagfinn; Brčić, Jure (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fishery, the bycatch of juvenile fish and shrimp represents a problem. This study evaluated if inserting a 200 mm mesh size top-panel in the last three ... -
Can vertical separation of species in trawls be utilized to reduce bycatch in shrimp fisheries?
Larsen, Roger B.; Herrmann, Bent; Brcic, Jure; Sistiaga, Manu; Cerbule, Kristine; Nielsen, Kåre Nolde; Jacques, Nadine; Lomeli, Mark Joseph Max; Tokac, Adnan; Cuende, Elsa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Several shrimp trawl fisheries use a Nordmöre sorting grid to avoid bycatch of fish. However, small fish can pass through the grid. Therefore, the retention of juvenile fish often remains an issue during shrimp trawling. ... -
Catch pattern and size selectivity for a gear designed to prevent fish injuries during the capture process in a North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery
Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu; Larsen, Roger B.; Brinkhof, Jesse; Gjøsund, Svein Helge; Jacques, Nadine; Santos, Juan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod and haddock, the interest on fishing gear designs that preserve fish quality and welfare has grown. However, the gear configurations tested so far imply ... -
Increasing catch efficiency for Nephrops in deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawl fisheries
Ingólfsson, Ólafur Arnar; Jørgensen, Terje; Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Kvalvik, Liz Beate Kolstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In Skagerrak and the North Sea, coastal vessels harvest deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in a mixed fishery, in which catches of Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) are of economic importance for the fleet. Fishermen ... -
Optimizing size selectivity and catch patterns for hake (Merluccius merluccius) and blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) by combining square mesh panel and codend designs
Cuende, Elsa; Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Arregi, Luis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Gear modifications in fisheries are usually implemented to obtain catch patterns that meet management objectives. In the Basque bottom trawl fishery, gear regulations include the use of a square mesh panel (SMP) placed at ... -
Potential for codends with shortened lastridge ropes to replace mandated selection devices in demersal trawl fisheries
Sistiaga, Manu; Brinkhof, Jesse; Herrmann, Bent; Larsen, Roger B.; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Cerbule, Kristine; Brinkhof, Ilmar; Jørgensen, Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In many trawl fisheries, codend size selectivity is supplemented by adding selection devices to the gear. In the Barents Sea gadoid fishery, combining diamond mesh codends with sorting grids is compulsory. However, the use ... -
Prediction of goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) minimum size required to avoid escape through salmon (Salmo salar) farm nets
Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Jørgensen, Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry has used various practices to treat salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infections, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical treatments. However, due to the environmental ... -
Species separation efficiency and effect of artificial lights with a horizonal grid in the Basque bottom trawl fishery
Cuende, E.; Herrmann, Bent; Sistiaga, Manu; Basterretxea, M.; Edridge, A.; Mackenzie, E.K.; Kynoch, R.J.; Diez, G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Achieving effective size selectivity for different species within a fishing gear is a major challenge in mixed fisheries. Fish behaviour may be exploited to separate species into separate codends where different selective ... -
Understanding and predicting the effect of entrance cone diameters on the catch efficiency of snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio) in conical pots
Cerbule, Kristine; Herrmann, Bent; Grimaldo Vela, Eduardo Enrique; Sistiaga, Manu; Brinkhof, Jesse; Vollstad, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Conical pots with a plastic entrance cone on the top are a type of fishing gear used to harvest snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio) in Arctic regions. In this study, we assessed the effect of pot entrance diameter on the catch ...
