Lost or abandoned gillnets on the seabed continue to catch fish and shellfish, especially in deep waters. These catches can be regarded as unaccounted mortality created by the fisheries involved and have a negative impact on the conservation of the resources. This study is initiated by the Commission to recover as many as possible ghost nets and collect data in order to assess the quantity of lost or abandoned fishing nets, especially in deep waters. The project had two primarily functions (i) to conduct structured surveys to estimate the quantity and range of lost and abandoned gears and (ii) to conduct mitigation surveys. The study will focus on deep sea ghost nets.
