Cefas: FSP69 Demersal Trawl Gear
Descriptions
AWARD NOTICE: The proposal is to assess differences in catches between a 100mm cod end vs an 80mm cod end and 100mm cod end vs 100mm cod end with a 100mm square mesh panel in the Celtic Sea (7e) otter trawl fishery, and potentially explore the effect of other trawl modifications such as bridles and tickler chains. There remain challenges associated with unwanted bycatches of quota species in the Celtic Sea otter trawl fishery. New technical measures were introduced in the Celtic Sea protection zone (7f,g, parts of h and j, and two rectangles on 7e) in 2020, which meant vessels had to use a minimum 100mm cod end mesh size (previously 80) and also use a raised fishing line when haddock thresholds are met. New quota share agreements from the EU-UK negotiations may improve the situation, but it is anticipated that there will remain difficulties for fleets to keep within catch limits and comply with the landing obligation.
