| Objective | This survey's objective was to observe and develop the Mermed trawl using underwater visualization with an EROC towed vehicle for trawl observation. This four-seam bottom trawl is equipped with a horizontal separating layer placed at the middle of the side seams, dividing the trawl into two equal parts along its entire length. At its tip are two bags or codends, one below and one above, which trap the fish and indicate their bathymetric distribution and their behavior with respect to the trawl, particularly that of hake which is the main target of the MERLUMED project. |
