The Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Bycatch mitigation is a central focus of the New England Aquarium’s sustainable fishing initiative. In 2005, the Aquarium helped found the Consortium to reduce bycatch in threatened non-target animals. The Consortium supports collaborative research between scientists and the fishing industry to develop practical techniques that reduce or eliminate bycatch of endangered or threatened species. Boston, Massachusetts […]
Pinger response trials with Chilean dolphins in southern Chile | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Field project report – New England Aquarium Short term behavioral responses of Chilean dolphins (Cephalorhynchus eutropia) to acoustic alarms, or pingers, were tested using exposure-control experiments (pinger on/off treatments). Field trials were conducted in the south-eastern Chiloe Archipelago between February and April of 2013. BananaBP154 pingers (FishTek Marine) were used for the tests. Static passive […]
Field Study 823 | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Submitted by morgaac on July 26, 2013 – 07:51 Gear technology in Nephrops trawl fisheries Maintains target catch levels. Square mesh panels, combined with guiding panels, were effective for retaining marketable bycatch and reducing discards
Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet fisheries, 1990-2011 | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Submitted by Kate McClellan on March 25, 2013 – 16:30 A new review of marine mammal bycatch in gillnet fisheries from 1990 to 2011 has been published in the open access journal, Endangered Species Research, in a theme section on Techniques for reducing bycatch of marine mammals in gillnets. Efforts to look at marine mammal bycatch on […]
Testing of an industry-designed bycatch reduction device to reduce the incidental catch of Pacific halibut in a groundfish bottom trawl fishery | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Lomeli, M.J.M. and Wakefield, W.W. NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center Report A flexible sorting grid designed by industry was tested in the US west coast groundfish trawl fishery for its ability to reduce bycatch. The flexible sorting grid was made within a four-seam tube of netting, 50 meshes deep and 88 meshes in circumference. The […]
Initial tests of a bycatch reduction device designed to improve trawl selectivity in the west coast limited entry groundfish bottom trawl directed flatfish fishery | Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction
Lomeli, M.J.M. and Wakefield, W.W. NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center Report A flexible sorting grid was tested in the US west coast groundfish trawl fishery for its ability to reduce the bycatch of rockfish, sablefish and Pacific halibut without reducing catches of targeted flatfish. The grid works by allowing fish smaller than it to enter […]
