Gear selectivity in the Labrador shrimp fishery / by D.G. Parsons.: Fs70-8/81-43E-PDF
"Selectivity of Sputnik shrimp trawls with 40 and 31 mm codends were compared for similar dates and depths in the Northern Hopedale Channel off Labrador. Mean (50%) selection sizes were 18.7 and 11.5 mm respectively. Reduction in mesh size from the present 40 mm could result in a considerable increase in the catch of smaller animals. Since the discarding of undersized shrimp is a problem in this fishery, reductions in mesh size are not advisable."--Abstract.
