Designed to target medium and surface fish such as herring, hoki, and mackerel. Acoustic technology pinpoints the location and depth of target fish and adjusts the course of boats and trawlers accordingly. Also known as trolling, this fishing method uses a cone-shaped net that is pulled through deeper water, unlike bottom trawling. In general, pelagic trawls are much larger than bottom trawls. They are towed behind one boat and deployed via trawl flaps or towed behind two boats (pair trawls) that act as deployment devices. Intermediate-water trawls capture pelagic and semi-pelagic fish and cause less damage to the seabed than bottom trawling, but are associated with inadvertent capture of unintended species (bycatch). Medium water trawl fishing is used for tuna fishing. Pair trawling involves two boats towing one trawler. The boats are spaced far enough apart to spread the trawl net horizontally, eliminating the otter board and the high hydrodynamic drag that comes with it. Two boats can catch a larger trawl than one can catch alone. Lower drag may allow trawlers to be towed faster, resulting in higher catches. Also, there is no drag chain in front of the net to scare the fish. Mid- and bottom-pair trolling of various fish species has been used successfully in other countries for many years. For a paired trawler to be profitable, the paired trawler must secure at least double her catch as a single boat. At the start of this experiment, pair trolling was assumed to be a viable method of catching squid. The results did not confirm this, but further investigation is required. This study showed that the net is sensitive to variations in rigging parameters. Future studies should examine the performance of this net in relation to changes in trawler speed and variations in other operational and rigging parameters, and consider alternative net designs considering foreign experience. A significant portion of the Vietnamese trawl fleet is engaged in pair trawls. Vietnam had 16,426 otter vessels and 7,665 paired trawlers. There are two types of trolls. One primarily targets pelagic species such as anchovies and is carried out using large trawl nets, while the other primarily target benthic organisms. Pair trawlers are usually towed across the sea bed. Pair trawls are thought to be cheaper than single boat trawls, mainly because two of her trawlers are better than one trawler, operating a larger trawler in deeper waters at higher speeds. His two experienced teams Polarhav and Stjørnan were chosen to give the first full-size Zenith his prototype a baptism of fire in a traditional Faroese mating troll field. Polarhav tows new 700-mesh Zenith test gear. This is tailored to the skipper's requirements with her Fortis low-drag net on the top panel. Most Irish groundfish fisheries such as haddock, whiting, and hake are carried out by single or 'single' vessels using bottom trawling gear such as trawls and dragnets. Bottom trawling, or trawling, where two vessels tow the net, is widespread in other parts of the world and has been identified as a potentially energy-efficient fishing method.
