Experimental Fishing Surveys

Since 2006 AP Marine has carried out for the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research, in collaboration with the Fisheries Research Institute ( National Agricultural Research Foundation of  Greece) the MEDITS Survey (International Bottom Trawl Survey In the Mediterranean). The MEDITS survey program produces  basic information on benthic and demersal fish species in term of population distribution as well as demographic structure, through systematic bottom trawling, on the continental shelve and along the upper slopes in the Mediterranean Sea.

AP Marine in collaboration with professional and sport fishermen regularly test and assess new fishing techniques and methods particularly pertaining to the use of trawling and jigging gears that are utilised in small scale coastal artisanal fisheries.
