Start year 2004 End year 2007 Funding (€) € 7,725,285 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/501605 Summary Twenty-three institutes propose to work together in two Task Groups, i.e. Nephrops and cetaceans to develop alternative gear modifications and fishing tactics in collaboration with the fishing industry to reduce by-catches in the relevant Nephrops and pelagic fisheries, without reducing the catch of target species significantly.
(1) To develop effective and acceptable gear modifications (by-catch reduction devices) and alternative fishing tactics in co-operation with the fishing industry to reduce the by-catch and mortality of non-target fish species in European Nephrops fisheries, and determine the biological effects and socio-economic repercussions of using these; (2) To develop effective and acceptable gear modifications (by-catch reduction devices and acoustical deterrents) and alternative fishing tactics in co-operation with the fishing industry to reduce the by-catch and mortality of cetaceans in European pelagic fisheries, and determine the biological effects and socio-economic repercussions of using these.
