A total of 160 tows were performed in Lota Beach and Armona Island in the Algarve coast (southern Portugal). Overall, were caught 12,319 individuals (3985 in Lota Beach and 8334 in Armona Island) belonging to 48 <i>taxa</i> distributed among seven phyla (14 <i>taxa</i> in Lota Beach and 44 <i>taxa</i> in Armona Island). Bycatch proportions ranged from 13.1% to 32.0% in abundance and from 10.7% to 32.9% in biomass, with more bycatch using hand dredges with 20 mm mesh size. Commercially undersized <i>D. trunculus</i> (MCRS = 25 mm SL) prevailed within the bycatch, representing over 40% of discards using both mesh sizes. Due to different size selectivity, the target catch (CPUE) and bycatch per unit effort (BCPUE) in abundance and biomass, as well as fishing yield as a function of tow duration and towed area, were lower for hand dredges with 25 mm mesh than with 20 mm mesh. In general, damage and mortality rates were fairly low (1.3–2.6%) independently of mesh size, reinforcing the importance of releasing live bycatch to the sea immediately after sorting the catches. Overall, this study prompted the need to develop a good practice guide for hand dredgers, aiming to mitigate avoidable indirect discards mortality and improve the sustainability of this traditional harvesting activity.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Hand dredging for the wedge clam (<i>Donax trunculus</i>) in the Algarve coast (southern Portugal): fishing yield, bycatch, discards and damage rates","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-15 01:33:44.320747","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Manual harvesting, fishing yield, bycatch, discards, fishing impacts, damage score","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2022-08-16","DateCreate":"2022-08-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000781831500001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1080/17451000.2022.2048670"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":354898,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"960-977","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"17","Issue":"9-10","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":72882,"SerRR":"Marine Biology Research.
