Start year 2010 End year 2011 Funding (€) € 88,000 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900437/ Summary There are many good reasons to invest in pot fishing for whitefish in Norway. It is one of the few passive gear capable of catching the fish alive and of excellent quality regardless of standing time. It is entirely possible to install size-selective devices in the gear, as well as solutions to avoid ""ghost fishing"", ie remaining nets on the seabed that represent an unregistered taxation of resources.
On the other hand, there has been little tradition of large-scale pot fishing in Norway in the past. The exception is fishing for crab and lobster in the West and South. In recent years, however, the fishery for King Crab on the coast of Finnmark has provided fertile ground for large-scale fishing for the coastal fleet and has led to pots as a tool anchoring their foothold in the traditional whitefish fleet that has previously been based on nets and line.
Goal: to find out if the technology behind the successful pot fishing for cod in Alaska can be transferred to Norwegian conditions.
Sub-goals
1. To summarize what has previously been done in the development of fishing pots in Norwegian fisheries and make up the status of pot fishing that is comparable elsewhere in the world through a literature study.
2. To conduct an excursion to Alaska where representatives from fisheries and research participate. The purpose of this is to have a dialogue with administrative authorities, R&D organizations and the fishing industry on how to assess this fishery for the future. Issues such as prevalence and trends, administrative challenges (size selection, by-catch) are key. In addition, it is planned that the group will go out to sea to document solutions and practical fishing.
3. To make an assessment of how experiences from other parts of the world can be adapted to Norwegian conditions on the basis of the previous sub-goals and to provide an assessment of operational economic conditions that are important for the introduction of the form of operation in the Norwegian coastal fleet.
