MINIDISC – Minimising Discards in Danish
Fisheries
• EFF Project from January 2014 to April 2015 [now July 2015]
• Launched to support and monitor the expected discard ban in Skagerrak
in 2014… Then adapted to follow the political developments in 2014
• Design and conditions finally agreed with DFPO and D. AgriFish A. in
autumn 2014:
– Free gear choice and removal of technical rules
– Fully documentation of fisheries :
• Sorting and weighting of discards for 6 species
• Data reported haul by haul
• Cameras and REM (AnchorLab BlackBox system)
– A bit of additional quota for participation
– A bit of money for netmakers
• Supplemented with a questionnaire process

Results-based management and Full
Documentation Concept in practice
• Differences beetween gears must be large enough to be visible with
current control/observers resources – over several trips and a longer
period
• The primary source of information is fishers own reporting of discards
(100% coverage, limited additional costs for the skipper but covered by
the uplift)
• Camera for self documentation of reliability. Must be simple to check
• Standard observers coverage + some discard self-sampling

Results so far…
• Ttrial has run for some weeks, all processes in place
• Ongoing analysis of data
• Sometimes it is only changes in mesh size
• …. But also signs of high creativity!

What we do now…
• Quality check of all trips through video scanning
• E-log report produced every 2 weeks for all skippers
• Mid-term status : Follow-up and feedback meetings with skippers
• Extension of the questionnaire to non-participating vessels
• Analyses of the best gear modifications
• Selectivity manual
• Communication and dissemination of results
• Expending into … DiscardLess…

DiscardLess - Strategies for the gradual
elimination of discards in European fisheries
• EU Horizon 2020 Program, 2015-2018
• 31 partners in 12 countries
• Developing new science, but also
collecting and sharing knowledge
developed locally/nationally
• Discards Mitigation Strategies (DMS)
developed, compared and disseminated
(DMS toolbox)
• Kick-off 21-23 April Bilbao
