| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | To assess the performance of a new codend cover design for sampling live fish escaping from trawl codends for use in survival experiments. The performance of the new cover design will be compared with the original survival cover design with respect to:
1) Their effects upon the trawl, in terms of drag and gear geometry; 2) The respective hydrodynamic regime within each cover; and 3) The behaviour of captive fish within the covers, in terms of swimming performance and reactions to visual stimuli and changes in water flow. |
