Fishing for the Future

Synopsis
Stresses the importance of ensuring that juvenile fish can escape from trawls and seines to grow and spawn future generations. Several features of net design affect the openness of meshes in cod-ends. Demonstrates the latest ideas to improve escape, including square mesh windows, semi-rigid grids, roped cod-ends, short extensions and narrow cod-ends. Some of these ideas have been introduced into fisheries regulations and all are practical.
