Title: Turtle Excluder Device Data
Short Name: Turtle Excluder Device Data
Status: Completed
Abstract:

Since 1988, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories has conducted Turtle Excluder Device (TED) research and certification testing to evaluate candidate TEDs for sea turtle exclusion efficiency following a standardized small turtle testing protocol. More recently TED research has been conducted on skimmer trawl fisheries to evaluate the use of these devices to minimize bycatch of protected species.

Purpose:

To evaluate new Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) for certification as allowable gear for use in commercial shrimp trawl fisheries and to evaluate the use of TEDs in skimmer trawl fisheries.
