Abstract
Results of comprehensive efficiency tests of three tested designs of 15 m bulged-belly, 15.8 m six seam and 29.26 m longwing type trawls in combination with 114 x 57 cm both rectangular flat and horizontal curved wooden otter boards are reported. Of the possible six combinations, the bulged-belly trawl with flat rectangular otter boards has performed better in landing prawns. Further this study has indicated the selective action of the different designs.
