Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract |
Unintentional catches of dolphins were recorded in four of the investigated fisheries (Dutch horsemackerel, French tuna, French hake and French sea bass) at a rate of 1 dolphin per 100 tow hours; Grey seals were caught in the Irish herring fishery at a rate of 4 individuals per 100 tow hours. The fish catches showed a high selectivity in several pelagic fisheries with a low discard rate (< 20 % by weight of the total catch) and a high percentage of the target species (> 50 % by weight) in the catch. However in some fisheries poor selectivity was observed particularly in the French hake fishery (with discards equal to 50 % of the total catch) and in the French black bream fisheries where legal targeted individuals amounted less than 30 % by weight in the total catch. This might be improved by appropriate technical measures such a minimum mesh size appriopriate according to the target species. |
