Experimental investigation and numerical analysis to develop low-energy large-midwater trawls
Fuel consumption in fisheries is a primary concern because of its effects on the environment and the costs incurred by fishermen. Many studies have been conducted to reduce the fuel consumption in fishing operations. Fuel consumption due to fishing gear during a fishing operation is generally related to the hydrodynamic resistance on the gear.

The Threatened Status of Steller Sea Lions, Eumetopias jubatus, under the Endangered Species Act: Effects on Alaska Groundfish Fisheries Management [PDF]
In April 1990, the Steller sea lion, Eumetopias jubatus, was listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act by emergency action. Competitive interactions with the billion-dollar Alaska commercial groundfish fisheries have been suggested as ...

Catchability of pelagic trawls for sampling deep-living nekton in the mid-North Atlantic [PDF]
Material collected in summer 2004 from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Iceland and the Azores with three pelagic trawls was used to estimate relative catchabilities of common fish, cephalopod, decapod, and jellyfish species. Catchability is defined as the

A Midwater Trawl Net with Mouth Opening Canvas Devices for Stock Assessments.
The purpose of this work is to develop a midwater trawl net to survey fish stock. A constant net mouth opening is necessary in order to measure fish stock densities accurately. For this purpose, canvas kites were attached to the midwater trawl net, instead of floats and weights.The area of canvas kites attached to the headrope and groundrope was ...

Comparisons of measured volume backscattering strengths with predictions based on midwater trawls [PDF]
Volume backscattering strengths have been measured close in space and time to midwater trawls in which small deep-sea fishes were caught. The acoustic experimental method was to deploy both an omnidirectional and a directional hydrophone and to detonate small explosive charges.

Life history of South African snoek, Thyrsites atun (Pisces: Gempylidae): a pelagic predator of the Benguela ecosystem [PDF]
Snoek (Thyrsites atun) is a valuable commercial species and an important predator of small pelagic fishes in the Benguela ecosystem. The South African population attains 50% sexual maturity at a fork length of ca.73.0 cm (3 years).
