Sole and Plaice: Rizla vs Cardboard

To catch Sole mesh size < 80mm
Escape juvenile Plaice cs mesh size > 120

Management is about Fishers
o Fisheries can only be managed through fishersbehaviour
o In that respect this LO is not fit for purpose
o Stocks develop under influence of management
o A LO is not a management instrument so………
o Science should help to influence fishers behaviour
o So science can help in developing better management
o Joint projects by fishers and scientists are essential

Development of EU Landing Obligation
• Call for reducing discards through a ban
• Ill considerations have lead to huge problems
– Category 4 discards (too low EU TAC) in Mixed Fisheries>Chokes
– BMS fish in Mixed Fisheries > Chokes
• But the Landing Obligation is a fact of life
• So is the paradigm shift from ‘landings’ TAC to ‘catch’ TAC
– But this LO is not an instrument of Fisheries Management
• We needed a surgical knife but got an axe instead

Development of EU Landing Obligation
• LO as stimulus for improving knowledge
– Projects Best Practices and Projects on Survival
• LO as stimulus for reducing discards
– Projects to increase selectivity
– Projects to improve survival• Linked to improved knowledge on survival
• Deck technology is a marginal factor
• In net impact is the all determining factor
– How improve survival if % is almost a ‘given’

The best Practices I and II project
• Discardtrips– Great variability in discards per haul during trip
– Plaice largest component in discards (62%)
– To keep workpressure equal 3.6 extra crew needed
– Additional net shore processing costs € 1.500
• Increase the mesh size from 80 > 90 mm– Reduction of marketable Sole abt 20 % = abt € 5.000 per week
– Reduction in (Plaice) discards abt 15%
– Conclusion: more discards per landed kilo of Sole

The best Practices I and II project
• Survival in relation to stock development:– In case of landing obligation exemption with F at or below Fmsy
• Marketable Landings are up
• Biomass is down (but this is not a goal)
– Distribution patterns differ greatly• Move on means 65-400 km so is unrealistic
– Decrease MCRS of Plaice from 27 > 25 cm• A reduction in discards of 6,500 tonnes

The Survival project
• 15 trips, keeping discards 2 weeks in Laboratoryconditions
– Survival rates Skates and rays from 40 – 65%
– Survival rates Plaice from 11-20%
– Survival rates Sole from 13-28%
• Condition score determines survival
– On board processing limited improvement
• New project underway for improved net design

Increasing Selectivity I and II
• Limited knowledge on fish behaviour
– Blurry images underwater footage
• Panels to separate Sole and other flatfihs difficult todevelop
• Ideas from fishers:
– Sep net in nephrops fishery
– KIWI cod end to improve escape
– Swedish grid in nephrops
• A continuing storyEuropese Unie, Europees Fondsvoor Maritieme Zaken en Visserij

Fully Documented Fisheries project
• Registration is key
• Estimation impossible
• Image recognition in its infancy
– Mix in the catch with benthic materials
– Feeding the software by human input
– Machine Learning
– Supporting development of gear selectivity
• Research and registration Instrument not a Control Tool
