Project: Bycatch and discards: management indicators, trends and location
In Europe there is intensive data collection of by-catch and discard onboard commercial vessels, but until now there have been few attempts to describe the general patterns in these data, and understand the factors that determine what and how much is discarded. This project will develop indicators of by-catch and discards in European fisheries, especially the relationship between pressure indicators (fishing selectivity and intensity), and state indicators describing the amounts and attributes of discards. As illustrated below, output from the project will help fishery managers develop effective plans for tackling this high profile problem.
