The authors conducted field studies off the coast of Iceland to measure the response of humpback whales (Megaptera noveangliae) in their feeding grounds to a whale pinger and seal scarer (acoustic deterrents). Results indicate that whale pingers caused a significant increase in humpback swimming speed and a significant decrease in surface feeding, and that seal scarers caused no significant, consistent behavioral changes.

This study reports on trials investigating the use of white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to improve target catch and reduce nontarget catch in northern shrimp  (Pandalus borealis) and Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) pot fisheries. Illuminated pots led to a significantly higher catch per unit effort (CPUE) of northern shrimp, but levels were still not commercially viable. LEDs also resulted in higher juvenile poor cod (Trisopterus minutus) bycatch and reduced Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) catch.
