Special thanks to DTU-Aqua and all the sponsors for hosting an amazing conference last week in Hirtshals Denmark ICES FAO WGFTFB

Here's one of the excellent fact sheets from SLU Aqua's selective fisheries report. A modified T90 codend in the Baltic cod fishery reduced the catch of undersized cod (below 34cm) & increased catch of larger cod (38cm to 52cm). Full the full paper here: buff.ly/2J1yAJs

Here's a quick snapshot of a Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM)'s selective #gear trials in an Irish Nephrops fishery.The team found that restricting 90 mm to the codend and not the extension piece could assist in maintaining Nephrops while reducing whiting catches.More here: buff.ly/2yr7w1n

A Norwegian company may have a breakthrough technology for #trawl #innovation. Although it's in its early stages of development,ECO Trawl believe 2 steerable thrusters can replace trawl doors, for accurate and quick steering. Intrigued? Read about it here: buff.ly/2KpPfX1

New in June—Introducing FLEXSELECT, a counter-herding device to reduce bycatch in crustacean trawl fisheries buff.ly/2sCPYt6 #fishsci

Another selective #factsheet from SLU Aqua's #fisheries report. This trial used a two-section Nordmøre grid to reduce catches of small Pandalus. They found the combination grid sorted unwanted catches of Pandalus effectively w/ at least 60% of the smallest fish sorted out.

The CNO workshop is well underway. Topics as ghost gear, waste reception, reuse and recycling from both commercial and recreational fishery is discussed. CNO hopes to map the status in the different countries, and make recommended measures to them. Nordisk Samarbejde

Gearing Up's Tom Catchpole is at the #WGFTFB ICES FAO WGFTFB meeting in Shanghai! One of the items at the top of his agenda? Encouraging scientists to summarise the #selective gear trials they've been working on so they can add them to the GU tool! tool.gearingup.eu

A great meeting last week with participants from 23 countries at ICES FAO WGFTFB -2019 annual meeting called - Responsible Fishing Technology for Healthy Ecosystems and Clean Environment. ICES Fisheries & Aquaculture. Thanks to our Host, Shanghai Ocean University (China)
