Gear selectivity for three by-catch species in the shallow-water shrimp trawl fishery at the Sofala Bank, Mozambique

The reduction of shrimp by-catch when fishing with shrimp trawlers can constitute a strategy to minimise discards. A research cruise was conducted in February 1995 in shallow waters off Sofala Bank, Mozambique to investigate the sorting (selection) efficiency of cod-ends (55mm and 60mm meshes) compared to the top-grid (14mm space bar) systems using covered cod-end method. The selectivity parameters were obtained for Otolithes ruber, Johnius dussumieri and Thryssa vitrirostris through the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) method, using logit function and pooled samples through the variance component model (VCM) . The top-grid was mounted at a theoretical angle of 33°, one metre aft of the retriever strap, in a downward direction.
