Bottom trawling consists in towing a fishing net along the sea floor to catch fish or other marine species. Bottom trawling can be contrasted with midwater trawling (also known as [[Industrial and Pelagic Trawl Catch|pelagic trawling]]), where a net is towed higher in the water column. Trawling is done by a trawler, which can be a small open boat with only 30 hp (22 kW) or a large factory trawler with 10,000 hp (7,500 kW). Bottom trawling can be carried out by one trawler or by two trawlers fishing cooperatively (pair trawling).

MSP Challenge

Bottom Trawl Catch is a month-by-month, computer-generated data layer following this fleet's fishing catch calculated by the ecosystem simulation. This fleet doesn't fish in areas that are protected against bottom trawl.

A plan can also include a change in the fishing efforts for this fleet per EEZ. Activate the Fishing controls by ticking the appropriate checkbox in the Plan Wizard. Subsequently change the appropriate Fishing effort sliders.


Return to fishing.
