Examen des prises accessoires de la pêcherie de crevettes peneides du plateau continental de la Guyane française

At this moment, the quasi-totality of the catches of the 95 licensed or French trawlers fishing on the shelf of French Guyana is thrown overboard, except for shrimps. This waste, which has been going on for 20 years in French Guyana, is the consequence a very specific production system which has just been the focus of a study by some French scientists who assessed it and tried to provide some solutions. It appears that the use of these neglected resources can be made at three different levels: 1) by making the boats keep the totality of the species they already partially keep, 2) by making them keep a series of complementary species which can be sold directly as raw fish products, 3) by collecting the leftovers for the making of sub-products or flour.
