Trawl Door Trials on Board Fishing Vessel 'Clupea'

Summary

This report documents the work carried out on Trawl Door research during a voyage on the D>A>F>S> vessel CLUPEA, the testing being directly relevant to the programme of model testing in the Seafish Flume Tank. The trawl doors under test were steel vee doors in three different sizes in use with the same net. It was intended that flat doors were to be similarly tested but this part of the programme was severely curtailed by weather and instrumentation factors.
