| The Otter Trawl. Another short clip from an Open Learning training course for fishermen, courtesy of "The Seafish Industry Authority". Otter Trawling takes it's name from the boards which spread the net instead of the beam. There are a multitude of ways of increasing the height and width of the fishing area, but they are all based on this simple example. By far the most popular fishing method in the UK, it takes considerable skill to make it work efficiently as it works by using water pressure (hydro-dynamics) to keep it open and fishing. | 13,125 kb | 1,566 kb |
