When science and sense prevail - CEFAS and Brixham fishermen work togther
Continuing to build a strong working partnership with the fishing fraternity - CEFAS have just published a paper on the '50%" discards trial. Working closely with beam trawlers from the Brixham fleet, CEFAS scientists and the fishermen have exceeded the 50% target and reduced discards in their trial by 62%! The full report is available her as a pdf file, and makes fascinating reading; a chance to see just what can be achieved when scientists and fisherman get to work as a team in determining the nature of the fishing research. CEFAS staff can often be found on the market at Newlyn, here Sam samples otoliths from plaice last year.
