WHAT IS A TRAWLER?
Trawlers use funnel shaped nets with extended wings at the opening to catch fish. The net is towed behind the vessel, catching and storing the fish in the back of the net, called the ‘codend’. The trawl net is kept vertically open by the headline, which is a floating line and by the ground line, which is a sinking line. The trawl net is kept horizontally open by the trawl doors moving forward in a seaway. The mesh size of trawl nets varies depending on the targeted species. Larger mesh sizes allow for the escapement of juveniles and other non-target species. Trawl nets are designed to be towed by a boat through the water or along the sea floor. Trawling is one of the most common methods of fishing.
