Las pesquerías de arrastre mediterráneas se caracterizan por una combinación crítica de un alto esfuerzo de pesca y un tamaño de captura por debajo de la talla legal para la mayoría de las especies comerciales. En este estudio, probamos el uso de rejillas separadoras instaladas en redes de arrastre de fondo para minimizar la captura de la gamba rosada (Parapenaeus longirostris; DPS) y la merluza (Merluccius merluccius; HKE). La captura obtenida con una red de arrastre tradicional se comparó con la obtenida con la misma red equipada con “Juveniles Trash Excluder Devices” (JTED) diseñados específicamente para cada caso durante un estudio experimental. Tres JTEDs diferentes se probaron: el primero (G1-SM40) se construyó con una res de 40 mm de malla cuadrada; el segundo (G2-ST20) y el tercero (G3-ST25) se fabricaron con barras verticales de acero separadas 20 y 25 mm, respectivamente. La probabilidad de retener DPS y HKE según clase de talla en redes de arrastre con y sin JTED se analizó utilizando Modelos Mixtos Aditivos Generalizados (GAMM). Usando G1-SM40, se consiguió una reducción de individuos de talla por debajo de la talla legal en el copo, de 60% y 40% para DPS y HKE respectivamente. Con respecto a HKE, utilizando G2-ST20 se observó una disminución en la captura del 34% de individuos de menos de 20 cm TL. Sin embargo, se registró una pérdida de fraccion comercializable de DPS usando G1-SM40 del –25% y usando G2-ST20 del 30%. Finalmente, el JTED G3-ST25 resultó eficaz para reducir la captura de especímenes de DPS y HKE de talla ilegal, pero se observó una mayor pérdida de fraccion comercializable que con los otros JTEDs. Aunque se necesitarían más ensayos de pesca para maximizar la eficiencia de las rejillas separadoras, los resultados obtenidos indicaron claramente que las rejillas pueden contribuir a reducir sustancialmente las capturas no deseadas de DPS y HKE de talla ilegal en las pesquerías de arrastre de fondo del Mediterráneo.
