-
A shrimp trawl must be equipped with a rigid finfish excluder device (FED). The FED must consist of a rigid grate with parallel bars spaced not more than two inches apart to exclude all fish and other objects, except those that are small enough to pass between its bars into the cod end of the trawl. The FED in a shrimp trawl must be secured forward of the cod end in a manner that that it precludes the passage of fish or other objects into the cod end without the fish or other objects having to pass between the bars of the FED. The trawl must have an outlet to allow the escape of fish or other objects that are too large to pass between the bars of the gate. The posterior edge of this escape outlet must be at least as wide as the maximum width of the grate. The escape outlet must extend forward of the grate toward the mouth of the net.
