Summary
The of reducing or eliminating discards are , except for the seabirds
The of reducing or eliminating unwanted catch (through increased selectivity and reduced fishing mortality) are , except for
some mix-trophic impacts
The negative effects of reducing or eliminating discards are , except for the seabirds
Why? The amount of compared to other food sources available to opportunistic marine scavengers

Effects of reducing discards into marine food webs?
Are we sure about our results? Uncertainty is due to the
Solution:1) Increase of discard monitoring programs;2) Discard monitoring programs should (designed to estimate discard
rates per fleet and stock rather than to estimate the discard flow to the ecosystem)

Why? The was for all functional groups
Effects of reducing discards into marine food webs?
Are we sure about our results? It’s in the diet studies
Solution:1) Novel methods for evaluating predation on discards need to be developed2) Better estimates on predation on discards
The of reducing or eliminating unwanted catch are , except for mix-trophic impacts
Why? by reducing fishing mortality of unwanted catch outweigh the negative effects of decreasing food source for scavengers

StrathE2E modelling of the Landing Obligation in the North Sea
The of reducing or eliminating unwanted catch are , except for mix-trophic impacts
Why? by reducing unwanted catch outweigh the negative effects of decreasing food source for scavengers
Effects of reducing discards into marine food webs?
Are we sure about our results? Model, implementation, and ecological uncertainties
Solution:1) Technical measures; development and implementation of technical solutions for reducing
unwanted catch2) Tactical measures: Adapting fishing patterns3) Increase survival of unwanted catch
by reducing unwanted catch outweigh
the negative effects of decreasing food for scavengers
Conclusions
: increase fisheries selectivity
to reduce fishing mortality of unwanted catch and increase survival
