Investigating options to improve bycatch reduction in tropical prawn trawl fisheries - a workshop for fishers

Since 2000 the use of BRDs (& TEDs) has been a mandatory requirement in most tropical prawn trawl fisheries. Despite this period of mandatory use, the number of BRD designs has remained unchanged and their performance can, at best, be described as modest. In the NPF tiger prawn fishery, these...

Tactical Research Fund: Empowering Industry R&D: Trials of T90 mesh configuration for bycatch reduction and more efficient fishing in the Great Australian Bight Trawl Fishery

This project was developed in response to the bycatch and economic efficiency challenges facing the GABTF. The use of T90 nets overseas, whilst detailed information is limited and the technogical development of these nets in its infancy, has yielded excellent results. selectivity and improved...

Estimating the impacts of management changes on bycatch reduction and sustainability of high-risk bycatch species in the Queensland East Coast Otter Trawl Fishery

It has been estimated that tropical prawn trawl fisheries generate between 27-35% of bycatch globally. This is due to the relatively small size of the target species, requiring the use of small mesh sizes which results in an inherently non-selective method of capture. Previous research in Queensland...
