| Fishing method |
Trawls
|
Pelagic means floating or hovering. The fishing boats pull the trawls floating through the sea so as not to damage the seabed. So-called otter boards keep the trawls open. The fish are caught through the opening. The trawls are funnel-shaped and end in a pocket in which the fish collect. The mesh size of the nets is adapted to the size of the fish species so that fish that are too small can get back into the sea.
