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.
