Goals & Objectives
Collect information on the bycatch in the Southern New England scallop fishery in order to accurately characterize the fishery
– Characterize the quantity and composition of yellowtail flounder bycatch, as well as other bycatch species captured, in the SNE LAGC sea scallop fishery
– Compare catch rates of scallops and bycatch species temporally and spatially to estimate the average bycatch percentages in the SNE fishing area
– Characterize the SNE sea scallop dredge fishing fleet
