| Abstract | A new large mesh demersal trawl of 32 m head rope length is found more efficient for the exploitation of demersal fishes off Veraval . Increased catch with a proportionate increase of demersal fishes was obtained when compared to a standard bottom trawl of 32 m head rope length with small meshes, suggesting the possibility of increasing the mesh size of trawl nets in the forepart . This increases the mouth area of net which enhances the fishing power by covering a large area per tow . The net is simple in construction, easy to repair and maintain and fewer in the number of meshes. |
