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.
