    Advances and best practices in bycatch reduction in tropical shrimp-trawl fisheries 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This technical report describes efforts to mitigate bycatch through gear modifications and adaptations in the tropical shrimp-trawl fisheries of over 30 countries. It provides a summary of efforts by each country and then synthesizes them to identify and describe best practice. A best practice in bycatch reduction is the application or adoption of appropriate, recognized approaches to modifying fishing gear, with the objective of reducing bycatch to the greatest extent practicable. This information serves as a benchmark to identify countries that are taking appropriate steps to reduce bycatch and those that are not. It also provides context from which the outcomes of research on bycatch reduction can be evaluated and compared, including the identification of effective bycatch reduction devices, and serves to identify future research priorities. In the context of this report, best practice includes the installation and use of TEDs and BRDs that are optimally rigged and operated so as to reduce bycatch. It also includes the application of appropriate regulations to ensure effective performance, as well as the introduction of effective outreach and extension programmes to enhance and sustain best practice to reduce bycatch.

    Book (stand-alone)
    Comparative testing of bycatch reduction devices in tropical shrimp-trawl fisheries
    A practical guide
    2012
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This guide has been written to assist fishing technologists, fishery extension workers, resource managers and fisheries to develop effective bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) in tropical shrimp-trawl fisheries. It provides information describing the various stages of testing of a BRD, from planning and preparation for research to the execution of fieldwork, analysis of data, and reporting and extension of research outcomes. In preparing this guide, a wide variety of literature and other sources o f information have been reviewed, synthesized and simplified. It should serve as a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide for anyone seeking fundamental information about testing a BRD in a tropical shrimp-trawl fishery.
