Appendix 4
Requirements for instruments which may be used legally for fishing in the more specific areas of Kattegat and northern Øresund, cf. § 4
The requirement for selectivity is fulfilled by using the instruments as described below :
|
1) Swedish virgin lobster
|
|
(a) The species selective rist shall be fitted into trawls, whose codend is made up of square mesh with a mesh size of not less than 70 mm, but less than 90 mm. The bag of fangs shall be at least 8 m long. The use of trawls of more than 100 square meshes in the circumference of the codend shall be prohibited except for joining and sea mlinings.
|
|
(b) Risten must be rectangular. Risten's bars must be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rist. The distance between the bars shall not exceed 35 mm. It shall be allowed to use one or more hinges so that the grate can be stored more easily in the net.
|
|
c) The Risten must be fitted diagonally in the trawlet with the grate to the edge of the grate, bearing back and upward. It can be mounted right in front of the codend or further forward in the extension piece. The rigour shall be attached to the trawl on all sides.
|
|
(d) The panel of the trawl must in the immediate end of the rist end of the rist be an impenetrable opening where the fish may escape. The end-of-off soles shall be as wide as the grate and in the front of a pointer where the sides are cut along the mesh tropics on each side of the ribstone.
|
|
e) It is permissible to affix a traishaped device in front of the grate to guide the fish from the bottom and grind of the traw;. The mesh size of the funnel must be at least 70 mm. The funnel must have a vertical opening at a minimum of 6 cm. The guard's opening on the ribstone must be as wide as the grate.
|
|
2) SELF-TRAPPING BAG
|
|
The trapping bag shall consist of a square net section of at least 6 metres in length and 4 pages that are equally wide. The pages must be made of traditional meshes with a mesh size of at least 90 mm. Each side of the trapping bag may consist of not more than 25 meshes other than those used for the adjoining and the sweemlins. In the top section, a 3-foot long-distance exit window is to be placed at a maximum of 3 metres from the end of the codend. The sort window must have a mesh size of at least 300 mm and consist of 3 open square meshes in the width. The mesh size of at least 400 mm shall be applied to 2 open meshes in the width. The principle is shown in the figure below.
