Stornes using midwater doors for semi-pelagic trawl
The norwegian trawler Stornes is using midwater doors type 15 from us for his semi-pelagic doors.
According to the 1st mate Sigurdur it is a trawlgear that works extremely well for redfish and pollock fishing as this trawl has an opening of 20 meters vs. 4-5 meters on a normal bottom trawl. Towing this semi-pelagic trawl with those midwater doors is not heavier than the normal trawlgear of bottom doors and trawl he tells us.
