The N.I.O. combination net (RMT 1 + 8) and further developments of rectangular midwater trawls

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 May 2009

Extract

An opening and closing net system is described in which 1 m2 and 8 m2 rectangular trawls are combined in the same framework; details of the acoustic telemetering and release equipment are included. A brief account of the application of the rectangular system to larger and to more specialized trawls is given.
