| Objectives | The overall objective of the selectivity cruise was the minimisation of discards in the trawl, with special attention to the species subject to a TAC in relation to the new EU regulation on discard reduction.
With that objective a selective device designed specifically for this fishery was tested in several hauls within the cruise. During those selectivity hauls, the selective properties of the device were analysed. In addition, behaviour of different species within the tested selective device and other parts of the trawl was analysed. |
