Is claimed to provide partly dramatically increased catch rates and increased selectivity. The selectivity led to an increased proportion of haddock and also led to an increase in the proportion of large haddock. The cost of owning this set is about on par with natural bait.
Despite the fact that hook-caught fish is of high quality and longline fishing is considered environmentally friendly based on energy consumption and damage to the bottom, Norwegian longline fishing stagnates. There are also problems in gaining sufficient interest in haddock fishing and a large proportion of small haddock in the catches reduces the profitability of fishing.
Increased selectivity and increased catch rates will contribute to increased profitability in longline fishing. It will also increase the probability that the haddock quota will be taken, as well as less bycatch of cod. These factors make it very interesting to carry out testing of the artificial bait in Norwegian coastline fishing.
The aim of this project is to investigate whether a restructured bait of the specified type will:
a) change the income in line fishing for haddock through changed catch rates.
b) give altered selectivity compared to natural bait.
c) change the catch rate and selectivity when adding redfish.
