Description
- Abstract: The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Northwest Fisheries Science Center
of NOAA conducted an Exempted Fishing Permit fishery test of a new selective flatfish
trawl to estimate bycatch rates in the continental shelf flatfish fishery. Eight vessels
participated, with observer coverage from May through October 2003. The trawl
performed well and reductions in bycatch observed were consistent with the effects
previously demonstrated in the controlled experiments. We recommend that a flatfish
target fishery using this trawl be developed for use on the continental shelf off the west
coast as a mechanism to reduce bycatch of some critical rockfish species.
