It is a research policy goal to develop fishing gear that has little negative impact on the ecosystem. This objective is reflected in the action plans of various sources of funding (eg the EU, FHF and the Research Council of Norway) and in the strategic objectives of the marine research institutions.
Teine provides minimal bottom impact, small by-catch, low energy consumption and high-quality catch. Previous research has also shown that pots can give sharp size selection and thus little catch of fish below the minimum size. Due to high bait costs, lack of bait, stronger focus on quality, live catch and the problem of bycatch of king crab, there is growing interest among Norwegian fishermen around the development of an efficient cod line as an alternative to nets and line.
Previous research activity has led to a pot that has occasionally yielded large catches of cod, but the catch efficiency must be further increased for the pot to be commercially interesting. By whistling the pot up from the bottom, one has solved the problem of king crab at the same time as this resulted in increased cod catches. Canadian researchers have developed an efficient pot for catching cod that is currently in use among fishermen in Newfoundland.
Goal: to contribute to the use of pots to a greater extent in Norwegian fisheries by testing and further developing applied pot technology under Norwegian conditions.
Sub-goals
• To test and compare the catch efficiency between Newfoundland and two-chamber pots.
• To prove the factors that may give different fishing efficiency between the two pots.
• To outline further research and development activities that will lead to effective teine fishing for cod.
• To carry out a profitability assessment of pot fishing and compare this with the economics of line fishing.
