Start year 2013 End year 2015 Funding (€) € 785,360 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900861/ Summary Seine seines are used almost exclusively from vessels smaller than typical whitefish trawlers, but there is a growing interest among Norwegian whitefish trawlers to use seines as a supplement to bottom trawling. The reason for this is that spinning wad is considered more energy efficient and gentler. Fishing with seine seines usually leads to less damage to the seabed, less fuel consumption, less emissions and better catch quality. If a larger part of the Norwegian fishing fleet used purse seines, it would therefore contribute to lower emissions of CO2 and NOX, as well as improve profitability and quality. There is also a growing international interest in using purse seine as an alternative to trawling.
With the increased interest in using seine seines as a catching method, comes the need to design and operate fisheries with this type of gear adapted to the specific vessel, fishing area, fish species and other conditions.
The project will develop tools that make it easier to both develop and operate spinner wads. This could lead to more extensive use of seines, more optimal use and an easier transition to using seines as a supplement to or instead of trawls. This in turn can lead to less fuel consumption, improved profitability and lower environmental impact.
Goal: To develop two simulator-based tools where:
• the first tool will make it easier for vessels to switch to seine wading. The tool should enable the skipper to simulate how the behavior of the gear depends on rigging and operation (setting pattern, sinking time, setting speed and direction).
• the second tool should make it easier to develop better spinning wads. The tool will enable the seine designer to develop and test new purse seiner designs with regard to energy efficiency, selection and capture efficiency using simulations.
Sub-goals:
• To develop and implement the necessary basic simulator models.
• To integrate the basic models into applicable tools.
• To test and validate models and tools through experiment and full-scale trials.
• To test the tools' usability in collaboration with industry.
