摘要：

The effects of the Morrison soft TED on bycatch from the offshore prawn fishery in New South Wales are described. Use of the TED did not significantly reduce catches of prawns (Penaeus plebejus) and invertebrate bycatch. The TED reduced the capture of discarded finfish and invertebrates, including species of commercial importance, by 32%. There was no evidence of size-selectivity of catch of prawns or eastern bluespot flathead (Platycephalus caeruleopunctatus), an important commercial finfish. Use of the TED reduced income earned by an estimated 4%. It is concluded that the Morrison soft TED has great potential to reduce bycatch in this fishery, but further research is needed to understand the performance of the TED under a range of conditions normally found in the fishery.
