Depends on your vessel and fishery, but theres plenty of options out there! Check out “Whats So Good About the Toms Fisheye“ for one option, but feel free to add more detail below and we can see what else there is that might help.

Some interesting work was completed a few years back focusing on modification to the trawl mouth to reduce bycatch. The final report is located here: https://www.frdc.com.au/project/2011-010. Efforts to reduce bycatch and improve fuel efficiency are described here: https://www.frdc.com.au/project/2016-057
