As such, separate reports on the specifications of the trawl gear used and catch composition for pair trolling are not available. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the fishing gear characteristics and relative catch rates of pair trawl nets and sea otter trawl nets off Karnataka. The indiscriminate harvesting of juvenile fish by trawlers has caused unrest among motorized and non-motorized traditional and purse seine fishermen and has led to inter-industry disputes. The increase in disputes and protests by fishermen has prompted the Karnataka government's Department of Fisheries to issue an order in November 2016 declaring pair and bull trawling in Karnataka's marine fisheries a criminal offense. Additionally, in November 2017, the federal government issued a new order banning pair trawls in India's exclusive economic zone. Catch data from multi-day pair trawl and otter trawl operations were collected by a multistep stratified random sampling procedure as described. During the voyage, the two vessels were engaged primarily in pair trawls (multi-day trawling MDTN operations), but occasionally operated their respective otter trawling (multi-day trawling MDTN operations), and their Catch landed by the method was billed separately. So, from September 2013 he analysed trawl fishing from October and from August to September 2014. The horizontal muzzle opening is also affected by net pulling by two boats. This is known as a bull troll or pair troll. In a pair troll or bull troll, two boats move on a predetermined parallel course and speed to the net. The distance between the two boats is also kept constant and the net opening is kept open by the diverging chains. The main advantage of this method is that a much larger net can be used since two boats are involved. Due to the distance between ships, the deterrent effect of ship noise is also minimal. Pair trawl fishing is banned in many countries due to a large amount of bycatch it produces. Citing Sri Lanka Navy surveillance in the International Maritime Line (IMBL) zone, the Nagapattinam government has warned fishermen to refrain from encroaching through pair trawl fishing in Polk Bay and instead improve their livelihoods through fishing. Fishing underfunded programs. Trawl fishing can be done by one trawler or two trawlers working together (pair trawling). Different types of trawl nets include wide-mouth medium trawl nets, beam trawl nets, and large bottom trawl nets such as "rock hoppers" with heavy rubber wheels that allow the net to crawl over rocky sea beds. It is included. A significant portion of the Vietnamese trawl fleet is engaged in pair trawls. Vietnam had 16,426 otter vessels and 7,665 paired trawlers. There are two types of trolls. One primarily targets pelagic species such as anchovies and is carried out using large trawl nets, while the other primarily target benthic organisms. Pair trawls are usually towed across the ocean floor. Pair trawls are thought to be cheaper than single boat trawls, mainly because two of her trawlers are better than one trawler, operating a larger trawler in deeper waters at higher speeds.
