Abstract

Selective fishing gears and practices have been promoted in the Southeast Asian region through demonstrations and experiments. Since trawling in shallow coastal waters could have adverse effect on the biodiversity and more directly on the irresponsible catch of juveniles and immature fishes that seek food and protection in the target waters, SEAFDEC through the Training Department has developed the Juvenile and Trash Excluder Devices (JTEDs) as bycatch reduction devices, and collaborated with the ASEAN countries for the conduct of demonstrations on the use of JTEDs in the region. The successful demonstration of the use of JTEDs in Calbayog City, Philippines had prompted the Philippine Government to issue a regulation on the use of JTEDs in all trawlers operating in the country.
