The development and evaluation of small specialized turtle excluder devices to reduce sea turtle bycatch in small wingnets (NCEI Accession 0226663)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset contains records of Atlantic (GOM) white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus), and brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus), and bycatch (other invertebrates, crustaceans, fishes, debris) which can be used to test for general usability of TEDs in the commercial small wingnet fishery. The dataset contains records of targeted white shrimp and brown shrimp and bycatch (counts and CPUE) collected during tests of TEDs in small wingnets conducted in the Atlantic Coast, in Biscayne Bay near Miami, FL. Data also include testing information such as depth, boat speed, and georeferencing information.

Purpose The purpose of the dataset is to to test for target shrimp retention, bycatch reduction, and general usability of TEDs in the commercial small wingnet fisheries. Proposed rulemaking would extend TED requirements to other trawl types such as small wingnets there has been limited development of specialized TEDs for these smaller gears. This dataset is the result of tests of a top opening TED with a minimum width of 28-in (71-cm) and height of 24-in (61-cm) in small trynets to determine its effectiveness in this fishery.
