Calculating the Spread of Trawl Doors

This fact sheet gives fishermen the information to enable them to measure the spread of their trawl doors without the need for costly electronic equipment.

The Mechanical Discharge of Wet Fish Trawlers at Tidal Ports

This report describes trials held between 1973 and 1975 of a new method of discharging wet fish trawlers at a tidal port, in this case Aberdeen. The principle was that of a vertical lift from a high speed winch discharging on a boom conveyor cantilevered from the quay with the whole unit being independent of the vessel. This technique was unaffected by tidal variations during the landing period. The prototype equipment functioned well and was easily operated by the fish porters and could increase productivity by around 20%. Because of the recession in landings at Aberdeen the system was not subsequently adopted. However, as the equipment is versatile in its ability to discharge wet fish vessels from 20m upwards at all quaysides with sufficient headroom whether tidal or gated and with vessels moored bow in or alongside, recommendations for future commercial development was given. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.

Otterboard Performance and Behaviour

Purpose of this Manual The Sea Fish Industry Authority (U.K.), IFREMER (France) and DIFTA (Denmark) have collaborated on an EC funded project to assess the performance of a wide range of otterboards which are currently available to fishermen. This manual is based on the results of this project. It is intended for those actively involved in fishing, although much of it will interest persons active in the gear technology field. This manual has the following objectives:- To define terminology and explain the technical operation of otterboards. To provide information on the methods used and the results obtained during the otterboard tests. To provide information for calculating the equivalent sizes of different types of otterboard to give a trawl the same spread. To assist in solving common rigging faults and otterboard problems. To provide guidance on the possibilities of saving fuel.
