The Wing Trawling System is an advanced fishing method designed to improve efficiency and sustainability in USA shrimp trawlers.
“Is this innovative beam trawl design; a possible replacement for traditional prawn trawling?”
Here are some key features and benefits:
- Reduced By-catch: The system significantly reduces unwanted by-catch by up to 65%, which helps protect non-target species.
- Fuel Efficiency: It saves up to 40% on fuel costs compared to traditional trawling methods.
- Increased Speed: The system allows for towing at 25% faster speeds.
- Environmental Impact: Unlike traditional otter doors that create mud plumes and scar the sea floor, the Wing Trawling System minimizes environmental damage.
This innovative beam trawl design not only enhances the efficiency of shrimp trawling but also promotes more sustainable fishing practices.
Do you think the wing trawling system could be applied in Australian fisheries?
