Description:Under the Endangered Species Act Biological Opinion (USFWS, 2003) the Alaska trawl industry is allowed a take of two short-tailed albatrosses over a five-year period beginning in 2003. This take limit motivated strong interest by the Pollock Conservation Cooperative (PCC) to begin a process to identify possible strategies to mitigate seabird interactions for the fleet of catcher processor vessels (CPs) owned and operated by its members in the Bering Sea pollock trawl fishery. At the invitation of American Seafoods Company and the PCC, the authors initiated a pilot research program to identify seabird interaction mitigation gear (deterrents) for future testing. The pilot study was conducted aboard one of the PCC member vessels, the F/V Northern Jaeger, from August 1 to 10, 2004 in the Bering Sea.
