Pelagic trawling

Pelagic fish are species which live and feed away from the bottom of the sea or lakes. This are of water is called the Pelagic Zone and is away from the bottom of the sea or lake and also away from the shore. Pelagic waters can be divided into different zones based on depth and light penetration.

This method of fishing involves dragging a large, funnel-shaped net through the water behind a fishing vessel, targeting fish species living in the pelagic zone, close to the sea surface or in the mid-water zone. The target species living here are for example blue whiting, herring, mackerel, sperling, capelin.

The trawl net used in pelagic trawling is typically towed horizontally or below the surface of the water, sometimes several hundreds of meters under the surface. The pelagic trawl covers a wide area as the vessel moves forward. The net is designed to capture fish by herding them into the open mouth of the net, where they become ensnared as the net is pulled through the water.

Pelagic trawling can be conducted using single or multiple trawl nets, depending on the size of the fishing vessel and the target species. In some cases, specialized pelagic trawling techniques, such as pair trawling or midwater trawling, may be employed to improve efficiency and minimize bycatch.
