Computer-aided design of trawl systems

Michael M. Rozenshtein and Konstantin. V. Sokolov of the Kaliningrad State Technical University look at the advantages of computer-aided trawl systems – Does your trawl design suit the object of fishing, its behaviour and space distribution? This is the key question in evaluation of its performance. However, trawls catchability, unlike technical parameters (material strength, required rigging, etc), can not be calculated at the design stage.
