In the Colombian Caribbean Sea the negative impacts on the bycatch cannot be only attributed to the industrial shrimp trawl fleet, but also to the artisanal fleet that exploits the shrimp resource by using beach seines and trawls locally called "changas". These fishing gears capture a high proportion of juvenile finfish, which are generally discarded. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of three types of bycatch reduction devices (BRD) -Florida Fisheye (FF), Squared Mesh Panel (SMP), and Radial Escapement Section (RES)- in the catch of this fishery. Two trials were carried out in two contrasting seasons, one in the rainy season and one in the dry one. Each test net was towed 28-30 times in parallel (one boat with a net equipped with a BRD and a control boat with a net of the same design and dimensions but no BRD), for a total of 90 paired samples in the rainy season and 84 in the dry season. Seasonal differences in the exclusion of both shrimp and bycatch were found, due to the high catch rates of jellyfish in the dry season, which affected the normal performance of all the three types of BRDs, especially of the RES. The rainy season trials showed that, opposite to the VMC and the SRE, the OP does not reduce significantly (p > 0.05) the discards, but only the incidental catch (p 0.05), we conclude that the VMC is a best choice for mitigating the discards of this fishery, due to its lower cost and conveniences of handling and assembly. However, some modifications in the location and dimensions of this BRD in the codend should be tested so as to increase the retention of shrimp during the hauling of the gear by hand. Thus, adoption of this device by fishermen would be facilitated, with the consequent environmental and socioeconomic benefits.
