11.2.Parts of a trawl net

j
The size of a trawl net may be defined by the length of the foot rope, headline or the number of meshes around the fishing circle, and the mesh size at that point.
Mesh sizes are usually at their largest in the mouth of the trawl and progressively reduce towards the codend.
