  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Eleven days of sea trials comprising 40 tows were successfully completed on 
board the twin-rig otter trawler &#x2018;Our Olivia Belle&#x2019; (BD277) in the Western 
English Channel in August 2017 allowing catch comparisons of cod end mesh 
sizes ranging from 48mm to 128mm stretched mesh with those of the standard 
85mm stretched mesh. The main aim of the project was to evaluate the use of 
larger cod end mesh as a means of selectively reducing catches of haddock in 
the SW trawl fishery.</dc:description>
