Assessment of seal-fishery interactions in the winter blue grenadier fishery off west Tasmania & the development of fishing practices & Seal....
Authors: R. Tilzey et al.
This report documents seal-fishery interactions in the Winter Blue Grenadier Fishery, specifically the assessment of fishing practices and Seal Exclusion Devices (SEDs) to mitigate seal bycatch by factory trawlers. Amended fishing practices have significantly reduced seal bycatch. Although trails suggest that the 2002 ėtop-hatch’ SED lowered the occurrence of seal bycatch, further research is required to confirm the effectiveness of SEDs.
