Abstract Performance of a 25 m large mesh demersal trawl, with 150 mm mesh size in the
fore parts of the trawl was evaluated in comparison with one boat high opening trawl
of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) with 360 meshes of 160 mm mesh size and
25.6 m head rope length. 8.2 percent increased catch was obtained by 25m large mesh
demersal trawl. The gear is comparatively cheaper, lighter in construction and offered
better horizontal spread with significantly lower towing resistance. Commercial suitability
of the gear for efficient harvesting of demersal fish resources of the region is discussed.
