In midwater trawling, a cone-shaped net can be towed behind a single boat and spread by trawl doors, or it can be towed behind two boats (pair trawling) which act as the spreading device. Midwater trawling catches pelagic fish such as anchovies , shrimp , tuna and mackerel , whereas bottom trawling targets both bottom living fish ( groundfish ...

The DUBV 43C towed array sonar of La Motte-Picquet.. A towed array sonar is a system of hydrophones towed behind a submarine or a surface ship on a cable. [1] Trailing the hydrophones behind the vessel, on a cable that can be kilometers long, keeps the array's sensors away from the ship's own noise sources, greatly improving its signal-to-noise ratio, and hence the effectiveness of detecting ...
