Main research questionIn the research project ‘Accurate selection” (De Juiste Sortering in Dutch), machine builder de Boer RVS, ILVO and skipper Jan-Jurie van Eekelen of the shrimp trawler WR 9 are working together in a study on an innovative way of on-board catch processing for the brown shrimp fishery in the North Sea.In this processing line, a detection
The aim of this partim study is to get more insight into the effect of excluding bottom disturbing activities, in casu bottom trawling, on the characteristics of the endo- and epifauna communities of sandy sediments in wind farms.
Specifically, ILVO’s technical research for fisheries focuses on reducing the impact of the current beam trawl, continuing to develop electric pulse fishing and passive fishing, and research on the survival of discarded fish.
A flexible team can be called on to perform both desk and field work, whenever and wherever necessary.Els VanderperrenRental of installations for marine experimentsAt ILVO, various recirculation systems are available in which exposure experiments (contaminants or other stressors), feeding trials, survival tests, and trawl tests can be done, or in which
