estimating size selection of Norway lobster
in the Mediterranean commercial creel fishery
Target species:
Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus)
Area, Vessel
The trial took place in the Adriatic Sea on board small commercial fishing vessel (LOA 6.90 m, 84 hp)

Gear type:
demersal
Gear modification
Commercial creels made of 41 mm mesh size knotless polyamide netting were compared with standard creels made of 12 mm knotless polyamide netting

Commercial creels made of 41 mm mesh size knotless polyamide netting were compared with standard creels made of 12 mm knotless polyamide netting
Results:
All individuals caught in the test creels were above the minimum conservation reference size (20 mm CL), 28.8% to 65.9% increase in selectivity compared to trawls equipped with 40 mm square or 50 mm diamond codends.
