This document summarizes a study on the ghost fishing of traps with and without escape gaps for catching portunid crabs. Researchers deployed three types of traps - conventional traps without escape gaps, traps with rectangular escape gaps, and traps with circular open holes - in underwater clusters and monitored them for periods of 2-10 weeks. They found that traps without escape gaps caused significantly more damage to non-target species compared to traps with escape mechanisms. Traps with escape gaps also caught fewer non-target species while not significantly reducing the overall catch of target portunid crabs.
