15.4.Trouser Trawl
A conventional single trawl with normal rigging is modified to a trouser trawl by the installation of a vertical dividing panel beginning somewhere aft of the fishing circle and dividing the trawl body into two equal side by side chambers leading up to two parallel codends. Trouser trawls are commonly used in some commercial fisheries.
