Hochseefischerei
The Institute for Sea Fisheries has been carrying out deep water surveys in the 70ies, in the frame of expanding fisheries into the deep water along the North Atlantic shelf edge. The focus on this were the ling and blue ling stocks around the Hatton Bank and Rockall. Currently the deep water fisheries are evaluated in an ICES Study Group (SG DEEP) and an ACFM Deep Water ad hoc group, the latter aiming to formulate interim managerial measures to regulate the deep sea fisheries.

Discard is the part of the catch, which is not retained and is returned to the sea. While some species (clams, sea stars, etc.) might survive to the process, most fish will die. Discard investigations are essential to improve input data into assessment models. The institute's discard sampling programme is strongly supported by external funds provided by EU studies.

Drift nets are considered to be a serious hazard to marine mammals, turtles, seabirds, sharks and other fish species and large numbers of them are known to have been taken in drift net fisheries in various parts of the world ocean. The United Nations have adopted a ban on drift net fishing in 1992. They, furthermore, embarked on a convention to better protect the movements of highly migratory fish species in 1996. A limited drift net fishery is still exploiting salmon (Salmo salar) in the central Baltic. The by-catch of animals other than fish in this fishery, however, is negligible. Drift nets are not in use in German fisheries. Member of the Federal Research Centre for Fisheries (ISH): Dr. K.-H. Kock
