attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Two trawl nets, the \\\"Ribas net\\\" and a Faroe Island design prototype, were\nconstructed and tested at sea on a commercial vessel, against a conventional\ntwo-seam groundfish net, which served as a control. The two experimental nets\nboth modify the top half of a trawl net; the Ribas by using large square mesh\nand the Faroese by removing much of the twine at the top of the net. The\nproject goal was to reduce cod as bycatch up to 75-90% (and perhaps dogfish\n(Squalus acanthias) bycatch as well). This net was designed to target the\nfollowing species: yellow tail flounder (Pleuronectes ferruginea), winter\nflounder (Pleuronectes americanus), American plaice (Hippoglossoides\nplatessoides), windowpane flounder (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus), and skate\n(Rajidea).\n \nSeventy pairs of alternate tows with the control net resulted in reductions of\ncod bycatch of >76% for both nets. Catch rates of sublegal yellowtail flounder\nwere also >74% lower for both nets compared to the control. There were,\nhowever, reductions in the legal catch of yellowtail and winter flounders.\nUnderwater video showed cod exiting the nets through the top mesh or gap made\nby removal of the twine. The results of this project have been presented to\nthe New England Fishery Management Council Multispecies Plan Development Team,\nwhich encouraged participants to demonstrate the performance of the Ribas net\nin off-shore areas. The participants have continued the research with\nSaltonstall-Kennedy funding. However, modified versions of both nets were\nincluded as options in Amendment 13 to the Groundfish Fishery Management Plan.\n(from [final\nreport](\\\\\"http://northeastconsortium.org/ProjectFileDownload.pm?report_id=92&table=project_report\\\\\"))

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String A beam trawl consists of a cone-shaped body ending in a bag or codend, which retains the catch. In these trawls the horizontal opening of the net is provided by a beam, made of wood or metal, which is up to 12 m long. The vertical opening is provided by two hoop-like trawl shoes mostly made from steel. No hydrodynamic forces are needed to keep a beam trawl open.  The beam trawl is normally towed on outriggers, one trawl on each side. \nWhile fishing for flatfish the beam trawl is often equipped with tickler chains to disturb the fish from the seabed. For operations on very rough fishing grounds they can be equipped with chain matrices. Chain matrices are rigged between the beam and the groundrope and prevent boulders/stones from being caught by the trawl. Shrimp beam trawls  are not so heavy and have smaller mesh sizes. A bobbin of groundrope with rubber bobbins keeps the shrimp beam trawl in contact with the bottom and gives flatfish the opportunity to escape.\nClose bottom contact is necessary for successful operation. To avoid bycatch of most juvenile fishes selectivity devices are assembled (sieve nets, sorting grids, escape holes). While targeting flatfish the beam trawls are towed up to seven knots, therefore the gear is very heavy; the largest gears weighs up to 10 ton. The towing speed for shrimp is between 2.5 and 3 knots.\n(from: http://www.fao.org/fishery/geartype/305/en)
