Evaluation of the impact of electro shrimp trawl fishery Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Brown shrimps are caught with bottom trawls, as is the case for 90% of all demersal fish, shell and
crustacean landings in the North Sea. These demersal trawl fisheries are known to produce large
amounts of discards and to disturb the seafloor habitat of benthic organisms. This results in severe
ecosystem damage and the indirect reduction of quota in other fisheries. Furthermore fuel
consumption is high. In order to ...
