Buoy Gear- a Potential for Bycatch Reduction in the Small-Scale Swordfish Fisheries: a Florida Experience and Indian Ocean Perspective.

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    A swordfish buoy gear, an innovative fishing practice developed in USA in early 2000s, provide a possibility of direct swordfish targeting yielding high CPUE of target species and very low bycatch levels. Here we present a summary of US experience and discuss potential application of this gear in the Indian Ocean region in the perspective of small-scale fisheries development and bycatch reduction.
