Comparisons will be made for a minimum of 10,000 hooks (5,000 control, 5,000 treatment hooks, minimum). Vessel must be fully equipped to compare longline circle hooks with and without a ring so that 50% of each gear type will be tested in alternating fashion. The fishing methods must be approved by NOAA prior to initiation. The recommended equipment for handling and release of sea turtles will be provided by NOAA. As such, NOAA seeks contractor that will coordinate and conduct longline fishing field trials to test alternative fishing gear to determine the efficacy of such gear on capture rate of target and non-target, or bycatch, species. Specifically, we seek a contractor to provide logistical support (eg. vessel and fishing gear) in order to conduct an experiment to test the use of ringed circle hooks in a Mediterranean longline fishery. Data obtained from this work will include comparisons of rates of capture of both target (eg. swordfish) and non-target species, such as sharks, rays, and sea turtles. The anticipated performance period is July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. To be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide service.
