Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus) typically respond by contracting their tail muscle ventrally, effectively propelling themselves backwards into the top netting panels (Watson, 1976; Newland and Chapman, 1989).
The Sea Fish Industry Authority, "the UK's only cross-industry seafood body", says that the most fuel-intensive fishing methods are beam trawling (which typically lands flatfish such as plaice, sole and megrim), mechanical dredging (scallops and clams), demersal trawling (whitefish such as cod, haddock and monkfish), nephrops trawling (langoustine, Norway lobster and prawns) and creel and pots (lobster, crabs and conger eel).
The study used the catch data from two Nephrops trawlers operating in the Clyde Sea area, Scotland.
