STRESS-FREE FISH WITH SNG'S FAST FLOW BRAILER

摘要

There has been a long process of development behind SNG's Fast Flow brailer, an idea that has been through flume tank and full-scale testing before going into commercial use. The Fast Flow brailer has the capacity to hold almost double the volume offish of a standard pelagic codend, while the length is reduced from 80 to 60 metres.This provides a significantly larger area for the fish to move around in during the tow, and one pelagic skipper reported back to SNG that the fish stayed up as high as the spitter, and after the gear had been hauled from 70 fathoms, the majority of thefish were alive as they were pumped into the tanks.Improving fish quality and the price fishermen get for their catch is one of SNG's core aims, according to Cathal Boyle.
