Results and Conclusions:<br />

(DeAlteris, Recksiek and o<strong>the</strong>rs)<br />

• Compared two designs <strong>of</strong> scientific<br />

sampling trawls, with various rigging and<br />

operational parameters.<br />

• Measured geometric performance and<br />

catch efficiency.<br />

• Found net design, rigging and operation all<br />

affected trawl geometric performance, but<br />

most treatments did not affect catch<br />

efficiency.
