Ecosystem impacts of the introduction of bycatch reduction devices in a tropical shrimp trawl fishery: Insights through simulation

ECOSIM simulations of the introduction of bycatch reduction devices (BRD) to a tropical industrial shrimp fishery resulted in moderate to strong positive changes of biomass of selected bycatch functional groups, depending on the position of the BRD in the trawl net. The highest increases in biomass...
