Midwater trawling catches pelagic fish such as anchovies and mackerel, whereas bottom trawling targets both bottom-living fish and semi-pelagic species such as cod, squid, shrimp, and rockfish. Trawling is done by a trawler , which can be a small open boat with only 30 hp (22 kW) or a large factory trawler with 10,000 hp (7,500 kW).
Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing poses a global challenge and has significant economic and environmental repercussions. [5] The impact of IUU fishing includes economic losses, job losses, scarcity, price distortion, food insecurity and unfair competition, [6] together with the depletion of fish populations and damages to the marine habitat.

Trawling can be divided into bottom trawling and midwater trawling, depending on how high the trawl (net) is in the water column. Bottom trawling is towing the trawl along (benthic trawling) or close to (demersal trawling) the sea floor. Bottom trawling is an industrial fishing method in which a large net with heavy weights is dragged across ...
Deep water divers Ghislain Bardout and Emmanuelle Périé-Bardout are raising the alarm on bottom trawling. These ocean explorers have seen the damage done by industrial fishing. They want it to stop
This is a by-product of the unselective nature of modern fishing gear, such as bottom trawling which captures everything in the path of the net. [18] Consumer-grade gear such as fishing rods and nets are used by pirate fishers to undertake illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing which adds to the number of marine species taken from their ...
Bottom trawling is trawling (towing a trawl, which is a fishing net) along the sea floor. It is also referred to as "dragging". The scientific community divides bottom trawling into benthic trawling and demersal trawling. Benthic trawling is towing a net at the very bottom of the ocean and demersal trawling is towing a net just above the ...
