The Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation is currently seeking applications for two commercial fishing vessels to participate in a new research project piloting automatic squid jigging gear in the southern New England inshore longfin squid fishery!
The two selected vessels will work with CFRF and The Town Dock Project Team to install and conduct at-sea trials of automatic squid jigs in the summer of 2021 inshore longfin squid fishery. The vessels will undertake chartered trips, with CFRF Research Biologists onboard to collect data, beginning in June and running through August of 2021.
