The eastern shovelnose ray (Aptychotrema rostrata) is a medium-sized coastal batoid endemic to the coast of Australia. It most common elasmobranch incidentally caught in Queensland east otter trawl fishery, Australia’s largest penaeid-trawl fishery. Despite this, age and growth studies on this species are lacking. present study estimated parameters age-at-maturity for A. rostrata basis sampling...

Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) is caught with large trawls small meshed codends, inevitably causing the fishery to have by-catch issues. To reduce amount of by-catch, a rigid sorting grid was made compulsory in 2010. However, there still severe issue, as well loss target species because grid. A possible cause might be clogging grid, which could solved by increasing area. Therefore, this stu...

Bottom trawl fishery is one of the most important coastal fisheries in Taiwan both in production and economic values. However, its annual production started to decline due to overfishing since the 1980s. Its bycatch problem also damages the fishery resource seriously. Thus, the government banned the bottom fishery within 3 nautical miles along the shoreline in 1989. To evaluate the effectivenes...

The use of mosquito nets, primarily for targeting small and/or juvenile fish, has rapidly increased in Western Indian Ocean shallow seagrass beds and coral reefs over the last 20 years. However, to date, invertebrate by-catch by locally-made fishing gear not been reported. We studied net trawl fishery areas Bay Toliara, Southwest Madagascar through GPS tracking fishers from August 2018 February...

Sea turtles interact with a variety of fishing gears across their broad geographic distributions and ontogenetic habitat shifts. Cumulative assessments of multi-gear bycatch impacts on sea turtle populations are critical for coherent fisheries bycatch management, but such estimates are difficult to achieve, due to low fisheries observer effort, and a single-species, single-fishery management fo...

A reduced environmental burden, while maintaining high quality and low cost, has become an important factor for achieving sustainability in the fisheries sector. The authors performed life cycle inventory (LCI) analysis targeting the fish production for a small-scale trawl fishery including small trawlers operating in Sendai Bay, Japan. The average annual cumulative CO2 emissions for the small ...

Sandy Hook Laboratory. Northeast Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service. NOAA Highlands. New Jersey 07732 Analysis of fishery resources: potential risk from sewage sludge dumping at the deepwater dumpsite off New Jersey Abstract.-Analytical and statistical procedures were applied to bottom trawl survey data in tests of hypotheses about potential effects of sewage sludge dump...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a global socio-economic crisis to almost all sectors including the fishery. To limit infection, governments adopted several containment measures. In Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia, lockdown period was imposed from March May 2020, during which many activities, restaurants had close or their business. All of this caused strong reduction in seafood...
