11.3.Bottom trawling
When a trawl net is dragged in the bottom or just above the bottom it is known as bottom trawling. Stern bottom trawling was first introduced in the late 1940s and has become widely popular since then. The advantages of stern trawling is the maximum utilization of the towing power and ability to set gear in straight line.
