North Sea and beam trawling
North Sea and beam trawling
Design longrange trawler: Pieter Beeldsnijder, The Netherlands.
Beam trawling on the North Sea.
Beam trawling is the fishing method which is practiced in the Netherlands by the major part of the fleet: 150 large beam trailers, wide 70 Euro-cutters and wide 100 shrimp cutters. With the beamtrawls they are fishing several sorts of flatfishes, especially plaice, sole, dab, turbot and brill. Moreover this method produces a large catch of other fishes as cod fish, ray, whiting, red gurnard, mullet, anglerfish (devil fish), lemon sole and whelk.
The narrow oblong mouth of a beam trawl is made up of a rigid beam along the top, and two skids to either side. To catch flat fish (but not shrimps) heavy 'tickler chains' are suspended along the bottom of the mouth. That is to awaken the flatfishes for swimming into the nets.
