The result showed that little research has been done in this area. An experiment has been carried out during commercial trawling (cruises) using traditional fishing equipment. The goal was to map current situation and to standardize measurement methods for determining the quality of the fish. Quality differences were observed in connection with catch (fish species, towing time and catch volume) and on-board treatment (bleeding). The project showed that it is important to study the entire quality chain because some catch damage first appeared after onshore processing (after filleting). One attempt at net fishing (cruise). The aim was to map the current situation and to standardize measurement methods for quality determination of the fish. Too few fish were caught with nets during the cruise so that it became difficult to draw definite conclusions. Short standing time is counted as probably the most important parameter for improving the quality of the fish. A new - and more gentle - trawl bag with a 90º turned net has been developed. The water flow through the trawl bag is improved so that one can expect better quality of the fish brought on deck. Also, one will probably when using the bag achieve better selection, condition and survivability of small fish that escape this trawl bag.
