Aim of the study • To compare the beam trawl, otter trawl and gillnets and • entangling nets trawl in terms of quality of whiting and sole • Sequid technology: objective alternative for QIM?
Aim of the study • Convincing the ship owners and their national association to turn away from the beam trawl in order to switch to an alternative methods • Improving the image and sustainability of the Belgian fleet, dominated by beam trawlers
Materials and methods • 2011 : data collection on commercial ships (spring;summer;autumn/winter) • Analysis on board of commercial ships: • Initial muscle pH • Onset of rigor mortis • External damages – Injury Index Method (IIM) • Mortality rate • Analysis in the lab by shelf life study: • QIM • TVB-N 4

Sequiddevice: principle • Objective alternative for QIM? (fish auction/ evaluation of catching methods in terms of fish quality) • Tested species: sole and plaice • Technology: diëlectric spectroscopy • TDR-measurements ------------------ XXXXXXXX 12

Sequiddevice: conclusions • R²: 70% → 82% • RMSEwith skin > RMSEdeskinned • RMSEdark skin > RMSE whiteskin > RMSEfillet • Experiments: tagged samples => reality = more complex! • Need for optimization of hard- and software for sequid device 15
