We evaluated the effect of emptying techniques a pontoon trap on mortality Atlantic salmon their spawning migration along Finnish coast northern Baltic Sea by tagging and releasing fish from commercial nets. Two methods currently used, traditional chute lifting bag, were compared. The bag has been developed primarily for minimising injuries during emptying. A custom-built Bayesian system model ...

Air-cushion-assisted platforms (ACAPs) are floating supported by both buoyancy pontoon and air cushion, which have merits of wave bending moment reduction, better stability, hydrodynamic performance. However, there is barely a concise method that can quickly predict the motion response ACAPs. In this paper, simplified panel (sPM) was presented for evaluating hydrodynamics The sPM extends conven...
