2011 (and ongoing) Denmark Harbor porpoise bycatch program

By Scott Coughlin

Sep 4, 2016

Monitored species: Harbor porpoise (bycatch)

Period: 2011 and ongoing

Number of vessels in the program: 9

Geographic scope of the program: Inner Danish Water, North Sea and Skagerrak

A brief description of the equipment employed in the EM / ER:

All vessels were equipped with REM from Anchor lab K/S, including cameras, GPS and gear sensors, all connected to a control box where data was stored on two mirrored hard-discs. Video recording started when the vessel left the harbour (predefined mailbox coordinates) and automatically turned off when entering the harbour again, using the GPS signal to trace position.

A brief description of the specific goals of the program:

Assess by-catch levels of harbor porpoise using REM.

Reporting agency or agencies involved in collecting, analyzing, storing the data:

DTU Aqua
