In addition to this critical environmental issue, the dramatic variations in fuel prices have recently put large parts of the international fishing fleet in an acute situation. Fisheries policy, measures and countermeasures vary greatly from country to country. In Norway, the situation will challenge a detailed and "fragile", but still strongly entrenched, regulatory regime. One of the roles of the fisheries research communities must be to point out and investigate the “space of opportunity”, ie technical and operational measures that can alleviate the situation within the existing framework. Increased flexibility when it comes to gear selection and catching method, and technical optimization, is one obvious opportunity to investigate.
Goal: to reduce NOx emissions, other environmental emissions and environmental impacts from bottom fishing. This will be done by proposing new concepts for fuel and catch-efficient active fishing gear based on trawls and spinners.
Sub-goals
• To propose new rational fishing strategies.
• To develop new, realizable tool concepts.
• To study and improve the launching and operation of tools in numerical simulations.
• To optimize gear design in terms of net design, towing speed and catch efficiency.
