An evolution of pontoon traps for cod fishing (Gadus morhua) in the southern Baltic Sea
With increasing seal populations in the Baltic Sea comes growing interaction between seals and coastal fisheries. The impact of seals, mainly grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), on fisheries can be reduced by implementing of seal-safe fishing gear, which ...

Theoretical investigation on an oscillating buoy WEC‐floating breakwater integrated system
Based on the concept of cost sharing, an oscillating buoy wave energy converter‐ floating breakwater integrated system is proposed, in which the surge or pitch motion of the front‐pontoon equipped with Power Take‐off (PTO) system is allowed.
