Frandsen, R. P., Madsen, N., and Krag, L. A. 2010. Selectivity and escapement behaviour of five commercial fishery species in standard square- and diamond-mesh codends. - ICES Journal of Marine Science, 67: 1721-1731.The Danish fishery for Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) is often conducted in a mixed-species setting, characterized by high rates of discards of several target species, including Nephrops and cod (Gadus morhua). Experiments were conducted to investigate and compare the selective properties of a standard 70 mm square-mesh codend (standard SMC) and a standard 90 mm diamond-mesh codend (standard DMC). Selectivity estimates for five commercial species are provided for both codends. The standard SMC yielded higher estimates of length at 50% retention/mesh size (hereafter SF) for Nephrops and roundfish than did the standard DMC, but no effect of codend type on SF was found for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). Moreover, a novel codend cover design allowed assessment of the preferred direction of escapement in the codend. Whiting (Merlangius merlangus) and Nephrops showed pronounced, but opposite, vertical preference in the direction of escapement, with whiting escaping upwards and Nephrops downwards. A significant (p < 0.05) difference in the direction of escapement between the two codends was found for haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and whiting. Owing to the relatively small catches, the outcome is probably most applicable to Nephrops-directed fisheries under similar conditions, and caution should be taken not to extrapolate the results to other fisheries.
