This project reviewed development work on gear designs, and identified some of the options for reducing discards in the main Scottish mixed fisheries. Meetings to discuss the practicality, viability and effectiveness of specific gears were held with members of the prawn and whitefish industry in Shetland, Inverness, Fraserburgh, Glasgow and Banff. Various gear options were discussed from square mesh panels, coverless trawls, cod reduction and horizontal separator trawls, to codend design, large meshes and grids. Opinions were mixed, the most popular overall being a square mesh panel, if positioned correctly and, at the correct mesh size. The introduction of the Conservation Credits scheme in fisheries management in 2008 made these discussions highly topical, and interesting new ideas resulted. Some of these ideas were put forward as SISP proposals, and have generated further projects.
