Abstract The reaction behaviour of juvenile Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) to towed grids (0.5 × 0.2 m, horizontally, or vertically orientated bars at 10-mm intervals) was observed as a means of understanding fish behaviour in relation to grid selection for a beam trawl fishery in Tokyo Bay. Reaction behaviours were categorized within four patterns by grid types and illumination levels: (i) forward swimming in towed direction; (ii) swimming over the grid; (iii) sticking on the grid; and (iv) passing through the grid. The most dominant reaction pattern was forward swimming, but its ratio was higher for light than for dark conditions. Passing through the grid bars occurred most frequently with horizontal bars. Approximately 40% of tested fish passed through the grid in light conditions, approximately 30% in dark conditions. Most of these fish penetrated bar gaps head first, while a considerable proportion categorized as “forward swimming” kept swimming even though their tails or bodies had partly passed between the bars. It is concluded that penetration of flounders through bar gaps is governed by voluntary actions.

Polybius henslowii Leach, 1820, a Portunid crab distributed from the British Isles to Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea is caught in high densities by many types of fishing gear and frequently thrown back to the sea. Along the northern coast of Portugal, P. henslowii is an important species discarded in beam trawl fishery. There are no quantitative estimations of discards and very little is known about its biology, information that is needed to value this species. The present work was conducted from March 2007 to December 2010 in order to improve the current knowledge of the reproductive biology of P. henslowii. By-catches were registered aboard commercial vessels that volunteered to participate in the study. In that period P. henslowii represented 57.3% of the total catch and was present in all hauls analysed. The target species, Palaemon serratus (Pennant, 1777), represented 1.2% of the total catch, showing the low selectivity of the fishing gear and the need for suppression of this gear to catch this shrimp species. Differences in size between sexes were found, with males being larger and heavier than females. Mature females occurred mainly in autumn and the carapace width at which 50% of the females reach maturity was estimated to be 37.8 mm, which could be set as the minimum landing size of this potential exploitable resource. A macroscopic ovarian maturity stages classification was proposed, allowing a rapid field assessment of female sexual maturity. This study fills a gap in the knowledge of a very important species discarded in beam trawl fishery that may be basis of further work.

Abstract Hoff, A. and Frost, H. 2008. Modelling combined harvest and effort regulations: the case of the Dutch beam trawl fishery for plaice and sole in the North Sea. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 822–831. Currently, several European fishing fleets are regulated through a combination of harvest and effort control. The two regulation schemes are interrelated, i.e. a given quota limit will necessarily determine the effort used, and vice versa. It is important to acknowledge this causality when assessing combined effort and harvest regulation systems. A bioeconomic feedback model is presented that takes into account the causality between effort and harvest control by switching back and forth between the two, depending on which is the binding rule. The model consists of a biological and an economic operation module, the former simulating stock assessment and quota establishment, and the latter simulating the economic fleet dynamics. When harvest control is binding, catch is evaluated using the biological projection formula, whereas the economics-based Cobb–Douglas production function is used when effort is binding. The method is applied to the Dutch beam trawl fishery for plaice and sole in the North Sea.
