50 free copies of our paper 'Socio-Technical approaches are needed for #innovation in #fisheries'. We identify pathways fr future #fishing gear innovation processes that integrate lessons learnt from the #pulsetrawl development. This trawl was successfully trialed at commercial scale but ended with an #EU ban, despite #marinescience evidence that showed that its environmental performance + catch efficiency was superior to conventional #beamtrawling.

The innovative pulse trawl technique uses electrical stimulation to catch flatfish. This is now prohibited in the #EU , despite overwhelming multiannual scientific #peerreview evidence that this #fishing gear significantly reduces unwanted ecological and environmental impact of #beamtrawling.

👇 Here is another new publication on #selectivity of #pulsefishing by colleagues Van Overzee cs in #fisheries #research.
