Evaluate the efficacy of selective devices and other discard management measures that have been implemented in the past. Improve methods to analyse, monitor, and manage bycatch and discarding in European fisheries.
(1) Provide estimates of amounts discarded in selected European fisheries; (2) Develop indicators of total catch, discards, and selectivity on the stock, community and fleet levels; (3) Find out the most important factors that determine discard amounts (including ecological, social and economical, and technical factors); (4) Suggest integrated management approaches to the discard issue.
