Objectives | The cruise is part of the ongoing EU-project "NECESSITTY". This project deals with the mitigation or even avoidance of bycatch of small cetaceans or other big pelagic fish by appropriate changes in the construction of large pelagic trawls used in the fishery on clupeids or other schooling fish. The efficiency of such
constructions will be evaluated in and around the net by means of underwater TV-observation. Hydroacustic equipment will be used to locate the cetaceans. |
