Part
of the smaller fleet also fishes from the coast as in the Skagerrak and in the Norwegian Channel.
Norway also has a large sea-going fleet fishing in the Barents Sea, off Svalbard, Jan. Mayen, off Greenland and on the Flemmish Cap in international waters east of Canada. Everything
fishing of Norwegian shrimp trawlers takes place with a small-mesh trawl (35 mm in the bag) and that used from one to three trawls simultaneously. The question can be asked whether this is the optimal way to catch shrimp. Three different insights based on new research may be worth considering as a basis for develop a new shrimp trawl concept. One is the development of a new spreading gearwhich can increase the catch width without the area of the trawl doors must be increased. Furthermore, it is documented that shrimp are only caught by meshes which are small enough that the shrimp are not filtered through these on the way to the trawl bag. A third observation is that shrimp often occur near the bottom so that there is only the bottom panel in a trawl which catches and guides shrimp inwards in the trawl.
