Advances In Koura Farming
In the early 1960s, the New Zealand Department of Fisheries did some trials on koura (NZ freshwater crayfish) farming. As a result, they determined koura would not be viable, as they would take three years to reach a weight of 35g. Current trials have...

Reducing Cod By-Catch In Norwegian Lobster Fisheries
Researchers from DTU Aqua have decoded the behaviour of Norway lobsters and cod and used the results to develop a selective trawl. This so-called SELTRA-trawl ensures that fewer cod end up as by-catch in the Norway lobster fishery in the Kattegat.

Velvet Crab Management
The velvet crab fishery in Scottish waters is a relatively recent development; velvet crabs were once considered a ‘pest’ species, and only taken in a small scale fishery for a few months in winter.
