trawl gear, plus it has all the spread and flexibility for pelagic trawling as well.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00f8renot\u2019s designers came up with the Injector Sparrow configuration by bringing together the key attributes of Stealth F15 pelagic doors and Cobra demersal doors to produce doors that are as stable as the Injector pelagic doors while maintaining the efficiency and flexibility of the company\u2019s line of demersal doors.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an impressive list of names on the M\u00f8renot \u00cdsland customer list, including many of Iceland\u2019s top
