| Abstract | Penaeid shrimp is a major resource in India contributing about 73.4% of the total marine fish landings. they are mostly landed by small mechanized trawlers. shrimp trawling generates large quantities of bycatch mostly consisting of juvenile (JEF-SSD) is a bycatch reduction device with an in situ sorting mechanism, which replaces the conventional codend in a trawl. the device was designed to catch shrimps and commercially importnt fish species using a specially designed oval sorting grid with appropriate bar spacing and dual condeds. shrimp sorting efficiency and bycatch exdusion charactristics of JFE-SSD attached to a 29.6 m shrimp trawl, was tested by experimental fishing along the coastal waters off Cochin, India out of total of 317.07 kg of catch encountered in the JFE-SSD installed trawl, 5822% was retained in lower codend , 17.53% in upper codend and 24.25%, mostly consisting of juveniles and subadults of finfishes and shellfishes. |
