  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Fisheries Science Partnership Programme 9, carried out in December 2003. The 
Programme was set up to investigate the extent to which a sieve net, 
incorporated into an industrial fishing trawl, could reduce the by-catch of 
whitefish whilst retaining sufficient catches of the target species Norway 
pout (*Trisopterus esmarkii*) in the northern North Sea. Sieve nets (also 
known as veil nets) are curved cone-shaped funnels of netting traditionally 
fitted to the inside of beam trawls used for brown shrimps, to reduce the 
by-catch of unwanted fish.</dc:description>
