Description:
Science requisite target group
International experts on fishing biology, fishing gear technology and fisheries economy
Research objectives:
Main objectives:
To develop new gears/fishing techniques (e.g. pulse trawling) that have a lower impact on benthic habitats,
To quantify the potential reduction of the physical impact as well as the negative effects on benthic communities,
To weigh the socio-economic consequences of these changes.
