Description:The Jones-Davis Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD) is a funnel-style BRD shown to reduce bycatch by 58 percent by weight and retain 96 percent of shrimp in the net. There are two components to the BRD: the funnel and the fish-deflection cone. The Jones-Davis BRD extension uses two hoops sewn into the netting to first support the funnel and escape windows and second, anchor the cone in place. Four escape windows are cut into the side of the extension. The funnel is sewn from four pieces of netting. It is attached near the leading edge and exits just behind the first of the two hoops. The cone is two triangular pieces of netting and a cable hoop installed behind the funnel and held by two anchor lines at the second hoop.
