Estimated bycatch in the British Columbia shrimp trawl fishery / N. Olsen, J.A. Boutillier, and L. Convey.: Fs70-1/2000-168E-PDF
The focus of this paper is to provide information on the bycatch of other non-target species in the British Columbia shrimp-by-trawl fishery. Specifically, the paper addresses the following objectives: 1) to describe the 1997-99 B.C. shrimp trawl bycatch monitoring programme and to provide estimates of total bycatch and bycatch by species group by gear-type, Shrimp Management Area, and year; 2) to examine variations in bycatch due to gear differences such as gear-type and the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs); 3) to examine spatial and temporal variations in bycatch in the B.C. shrimp trawl fishery; 4) to compare bycatch levels in the B.C. shrimp trawl fishery to those in other trawl fisheries; and 5) to review management strategies used in other trawl fisheries to reduce bycatch, and to provide bycatch reduction options for managers of the B.C. shrimp trawl fishery.
