NOAA Fisheries has introduced a new Multi-Function Trawl net, developed in collaboration with Ocean Gold Seafoods and Swan Nets, to improve its fisheries surveys along the West Coast. The net enables research vessels to harvest fish at different depths, catching various species efficiently. This innovation will allow NOAA Fisheries to combine two surveys, reducing the need for two vessels and potentially using charter vessels and Canadian and Mexican coordinated vessels. The project, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, aims to upgrade survey equipment, monitor fish stocks more effectively in a changing ocean, and will use a single vessel with the new net for the Integrated West Coast Pelagics Survey.

NOAA Fisheries says a new, innovative net design will help the agency improve and streamline its fisheries surveys along the West Coast.Developed together with Ocean Gold Seafoods and Seattle-based net manufacturer Swan Nets, the Multi-Function Trawl net allows NOAA research vessels to harvest fish at different depths. That enables a research vessel to set the net for midwater depths to catch Pacific hake during the day, and then adjust the net for surface level trawling to catch sardines and anchovies at night."The collaborative learning with industry partners was vital for the success of our initial testing, which brings us much closer to upgrading our survey equipment to use the latest technologies," Southwest Fisheries Science Center Fisheries Resources Division Director Annie Yau said.The development will allow NOAA Fisheries to combine two surveys that cover roughly the same area: the Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Survey and the Joint U.S.-Canada Integrated Ecosystem and ...
