Study Type
Field study in the wild
Effect on target catch
Improved selectivity, reduced discarding
Effect on bycatch species
Sorting grids improved target-species selectivity and reduced benthic discards relative to the control, and the T90 codend substantially reduced elasmobranch bycatch, particularly juveniles
