A comparison of hydrodynamic forces in knotted and knotless netting, using both helix and conventional ropes for midwater trawls

This study evaluated the hydrodynamic forces produced by whole panels of hand-made (geometrically different) rope meshes typically found in midwater trawls. Experimental treatments included both knotted and knotless meshes constructed of helix composite ropes, conventional braided nylon (PA) ropes,...
