The aim of the Fisheries and Survey Technology working group is to develop and test technical innovations for various fisheries that enable sustainable fishing. #MarineLife 🦑 #science
During the “CIBBRiNA Exchange Event: Demonstrating bycatch mitigation solutions – innovations and practical experiences”, we showcased our work on bycatch mitigation and innovative fishing gears 🐬⚓️.
Lots of great conversations, new impulses and plenty of momentum for what’s ahead 🚀🙌

we can test how fish react to our new fishing gear modifications and alternative fishing methods under safe and controlled conditions.
Because: Better science = better fishing gear = healthier oceans. 🌊✨

This week, part of our team is taking part in the basic course on laboratory animal science (fish) at the @igb-berlin.de 🐟📚.
This is not only a compulsory course – it also enables us to continue working with fish responsibly and in compliance with the law in the future. 💡 With this knowledge,

Ein Teil unseres Teams hat ein 3-tägigen Seesicherheitstraining absolviert. Der Kurs umfasste Feuersicherheit, Überleben im Wasser & Erste Hilfe - sehr wichtig für sicheres Arbeiten auf See!
Es war eine tolle Erfahrung & wir sind nun besser auf alles vorbereitet, was das Meer uns beschert 🌊

Last week, part of our team took part in a 3-day sea safety training course. The course covered fire safety, water survival, and first aid—all essential skills for our future fieldwork at sea!
It was a great experience, and we’re now better prepared for whatever the ocean throws our way 🌊

🦐 In the North Sea, we are testing innovative trawl modifications to reduce bycatch in the shrimp fishery aboard the FFS "Solea". Ongoing fishing trials using trawl mounted release panels to reduce by-catch of benthic species vulnerable to fishing gear. 🦑 #fisheryscience #sustainablefishing #science

Thanks to the modular design, we can quickly and easily adapt the net during the trip and collect data.
We are out at sea - the 846th cruise on the RV Solea is now underway.
We are currently testing a new modular shrimp net in which the net material, the mesh size and the size of the overall net have been adapted to the current needs and wishes of the shrimp fishery.

Last week, our new design pearls were in the spotlight.
Part of our team was onboard our research vessel, testing its underwater visibility under the frequency of harbor porpoise clicks. Using an echosounder, we simulated these signals—and the results? Very promising! 🦑

We explained not only how the trap works but also what makes it double seal-safe:
✔ protects seals from bycatch
✔️ protects the catch from seals
