Abstract
    Unintentional catches of dolphins were recorded in four of the investigated fisheries (Dutch horsemackerel, French tuna, French hake and French sea bass) at a rate of 1 dolphin per 100 tow hours; Grey seals were caught in the Irish herring fishery at a rate of 4 individuals per 100 tow hours. The fish catches showed a high selectivity in several pelagic fisheries with a low discard rate (< 20 % by weight of the total catch) and a high percentage of the target species (> 50 % by weight) in the catch. However in some fisheries poor selectivity was observed particularly in the French hake fishery (with discards equal to 50 % of the total catch) and in the French black bream fisheries where legal targeted individuals amounted less than 30 % by weight in the total catch. This might be improved by appropriate technical measures such a minimum mesh size appriopriate according to the target species.
