Evaluation of Mesh Measurement Methodologies for Fisheries Inspection and Research (MESH) FAIR-CT96-1452_TASK 2

Summary

In task two of the project each partner had to identify and describe problems with respect to mesh measurement procedures for scientific applications. A series of hearings was set up involving fisherment, net suppliers and the Inspectorate from all areas of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Any problems with the measurement of mesh sizes in these sectors were discussed and noted. The procedures for ensuring adequate coverage of all sectors and areas are described. The points raised at each meeting are given in detail in Appendices I and II and condensed into points of commonality in the results section. A discussion of relevant points and conclusions is included.
