  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The reported sea trials are part of the FISP funded CodSELect project. Apart from the current trials, the project involves a number of controlled laboratory tank trials conducted in the Marine Directorate&#x2019;s facilities in the Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen as well as sea trials on board the Marine Directorate&#x2019;s research vessel Alba Na Mara. The trials took place on FV Westro PD20, between 3-9 October 2023, in Neprhops commercial grounds (NE Piper). The data collection was carried out by both Marine Directorate and Scottish Fishermen&#x2019;s Federation scientific personnel. The objective was to investigate whether artificial light can influence fish behaviour, with main focus on cod, and enhance escape through a square mesh panel (SMP) on the top panel of a SELTRA sorting box in the extension of a commercial trawl.</dc:description>
