Aquamind, Espersen and McDonald’s in collaboration have developed and tested new gear in the cod fishery (Gadus morhua) in the Baltic Sea. With pelagic trawl doors and dyneema-made trawl the project has shown an increase of 37% in the catch in weight per hour, a lower CO2 emission per catch and a potentially reduced physical impact of the seabed.
