Towards optimisation of bridle lengths in bottom trawls
Apart from increasing the swept area of the trawls, the importance of bridles as a herding device based on fish behaviour is discussed. The results of 10, 20 and 30m bridles when rigged with a 15m bulged belly trawl in combination with 114x57cm flat rectangular otter boards are presented. The net with 20m bridle landed better catches.
