However, despite their global ubiquity and high bycatch, there are few tested solutions to reduce sea turtle bycatch in pound net fisheries. Net illumination is a sensory-based bycatch reduction technology that has reduced bycatch of sea turtles and other marine megafauna while maintaining target fish catch in multiple coastal gillnet fisheries worldwide. Given the success of gillnet illumination, we are testing the effects of illuminating pound nets with both battery- and solar-powered green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on sea turtle bycatch and target fish catch in experimental pound net fishing gear in inshore North Carolina waters. To determine the potential influence of battery- and solar-powered LED deployment on experimental pound net fishing gear on target and bycatch species. onGoing Avens, Larisa (252)728-8747 (252)728-8784 101 Pivers Island Rd.

The structure includes a pound with a netting floor, a heart-shaped enclosure, and a straight wall or leader. Pound nets are generally set close to shore and the leader is set perpendicular to the shore to guide migrating fish into the pound. The leader is a wall of mesh webbing that extends from the sea floor to approximately the sea surface and may be up to several hundred meters in length.
