Call for Tender

dec 2, 2022

In the spring of 2022, members of the Danish Pelagic Producers Organisation (DPPO) made the novel decision to introduce “fully documented fisheries” on all member vessels in all fisheries.

. The DPPO’s pelagic fleet is the first in Europe to introduce “fully documented fisheries” on all vessels. Beginning in 2023 all member vessels in DPPO will be connected to a closed data system operated and owned by DPPO with the assistance of independent third parties. The transparent system will record and store all relevant fisheries related data from the vessels, including video from CCTV surveillance. All data and information from the fishing operations will be made available directly to control authorities, scientists and other relevant public and private partners.

The DPPO’s pelagic fleet is one of the world’s most modern and advanced. Danish pelagic fishers annually land more than 400,000 tonnes of healthy, sustainably caught herring, mackerel and other species to supply millions of consumers worldwide. These consumers will now be given the additional assurance that the fish is caught and handled responsibly and in full compliance with rules and regulations in Denmark and the EU.

DPPO has now opened a call for tender for a contractor to develop, install and service the “Fully documented fisheries” system. See the link below:

Effect on catch efficiency and bycatch by introducing an Excluder device in the trawl fishery for lesser sandeel

Effect on catch efficiency and bycatch by introducing an Excluder device in the trawl fishery for lesser sandeel

aug 21, 2024

I denne nyligt udgivne videnskabelige publikation, har DPPO sammen DTU Aqua analyseret reduktionen af bifangst i tobisfiskeriet ved brug af det selektive redskab, Excluderen, udviklet af Egersund Trawl DK og Greenline Fishing Gear A/S. Arbejdet dokumenterer ikke alene at, at der i et moderne tobisfiskeri typisk er en bifangst på under 5%, men også at den allerede lave bifangst kan reduceres yderligere ved brug af Excluderen, så bifangst af kuller, makrel og knurhane minimeres, samtidig med at tobisfangsterne forbliver den samme.

As the first pelagic fishing fleet in Europe, the Danish Pelagic Producers Organisation (DPPO) is introducing Fully Documented Fishing on all member vessels. As a result, more than 50% of all Danish catches are now monitored using CCTV, AI and sensor technology. The system is owned and operated by the DPPO and supported by certified 3rd party Integrated Monitoring and aims at ensuring transparency in the industry and to generate data for marine research and better management.
