Configuring the mesh size, side taper and wing depth of penaeid trawls to reduce environmental impacts.
The effects of reducing mesh size while concomitantly varying the side taper and wing depth of a generic penaeid-trawl body were investigated to improve engineering performance and minimize bycatch. Five trawl bodies (with the same codends) were tested across various environmental (e.g. depth and cu...
