Pelagisk tråling etter torskefisk : Pelagic trawling for cod

Abstract

Pelagic trawling does no harm to benthic fauna and reduces bycatches, and is sometimes an alternative to bottom trawling when fishing for cod. Selection abilities are the same as for bottom trawling. A newly developed concept (also applicable to bottom trawls), which has a four-panel extension and cod-end, stabilises the trawl geometry and improves selectivity.
