Artificial light has been shown to enhance the fishing efficiency of fishing gear by attracting marine organisms. This study introduces a novel approach by incorporating noctilucent materials into crab pots and evaluates their effects on catch performance. Based on the crab pots commonly used on the coast, four types of crab pots were tested: ordinary crab pots (Con-pot), ordinary crab pots equipped with noctilucent sticks (Ex...

The beam trawl is one of the primary operational trawls for Antarctic krill, and its beam provides horizontal expansion support for the trawl net. The hydrodynamic performance of the beam significantly affects the vertical expansion and sinking performance of the trawl, as well as impacts the energy consumption of the fishing vessel. In this study, the beam of the Antarctic krill trawl used on the “Shen Lan” fishing vessel ser...
