A demersal trawling gear for inshore waters along the west coast

Results of comprehensive efficiency tests of three tested designs of 15m bulged belly, 15.8m six seam and 29.26m longwing type trawls in combination with 114x57cm both rectangular flat and horizontal curved wooden otter boards are reported. Of the possible six combinations, the bulged-belly trawl with flat rectangular otter boards has performed better in landing prawns. Further this study has indicated the selective action of the different designs.
