Start year 2008 End year 2012 Funding (€) € 4,703,743 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/210496 Summary The European open ocean tropical and Mediterranean pelagic fishery (Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Greece) is one of the main sources of catch, income and employment for the European fishery, with interactions with many developing countries. MADE project aimed to reduce the adverse environmental effect of longlines, which target swordfish. It also sought to limit the ecological effects of purse seiners employing fish-aggregating devices (FADs) to catch tuna, and investigated how FADs affect the behaviour of pelagic fish species. Fish are naturally attracted by floating objects and this phenomenon is exploited through the use of FADs.
To develop measures to mitigate adverse impacts of fisheries targeting large pelagic fish in the open ocean: purse seiners using FADs and long liners.
