Abstract:
A problem facing shrimpers when the nets are pulled in is bycatch, or unintended catch. Once the shrimp are brought onboard, shrimpers have to sort through them, and having bycatch, which has to be returned to the ocean, slows down the process. Lee reports on the research of John Broome, a Wilmington-based shrimpers, to create new gear that would allow shrimp to be culled faster and return bycatch to the water faster.

Abstract:
Bycatch is a hotly debated topic among fishermen involved in inshore shrimping, individuals, and state agencies. Bycatch is the amount of non-targeted catch that fishermen net along with their intended catch. Inshore shrimping nets can scoop up valuable commercial and recreational fish, such as croaker, spot, gray trout, and flounder. If large numbers of these fish end up as bycatch, their populations will decline and affect sportsfishermen and other commercial fisheries. A North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant project assesses the bycatch generated in North Carolina's southeastern shrimp fisheries.
