In total, 28 tows were done using the standard covered codend method. For all four species, the SM40 showed a significantly higher mean selection length (L50) than the DM40. For hake the L50 was 16.0 cm in SM40 and 10.1 cm in DM40; the corresponding figures were 13.0 cm versus 9.2 cm for poor cod and 14.9 cm versus 9.8 cm for greater forkbeard. For Norway lobster, DM40 did not show any size-selectivity whereas SM40 produced a L50 of 22 mm. The selection range (SR) between DM40 and SM40 was not significantly (p > 0.05) different for any of the three fish species. Our trials indicate that substantial improvement in size-selectivity for these commercially important species is achieved by switching from the conventional 40mm diamond mesh codend to a 40mm square mesh codend. Our analysis also suggests that by using a 40mm square mesh codend the short-term economic losses of commercial species, compared to the losses of 40mm diamond mesh codend, will be low in the slope fishery (less than ~5% of the total catch value), whereas in the continental shelf losses could be up to ~30% of the total catch value. This study was financially supported by the European Commission, Contract SSP8-CT- 2003/501605 (NECESSITY).
