2011 - 2011 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Trials with a Modified Commercial Trawl 2011/12 - Fisheries Science Partnership

To learn more about the behaviour of cod and other fish as they enter the net by modifying a standard NE coast trawl to hold two separator panels running the entire length of the net. A series of hauls will be undertaken to see where cod and the other fish are captured in the net. This will lead to better designs of cod-avoidance gears.
