Two approaches are used to estimate dungeness crab bycatch mortality, allowing for a field validation of the RAMP approach (Yochum et al. 2013).
Preliminary results are available for using RAMP to estimate dungeness crab bycatch mortality in Oregon fisheries; including commercial crabbing, recreational crabbing, and trawling.
More information on this project is available (Yochum, Stoner and Yochum 2012, and NOAA 2013).
