One Fisheries Science Partnership survey was carried out in September/October
2005 to examine the amount and mesh size of lost and discarded gillnets in the
anglerfish and shark fisheries on and around Rosemary Bank to the west of
Scotland. Information from the DEEPNET1 project suggests that lost and
discarded gill nets from these fisheries to the west of the British Isles may
continue to “ghost fish” for long periods due to a slow rate of bio-fouling.
