1 PE S L E A M G I- IC TRAWL 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 GLORIA WB Alaskan Pollock 9 For demersal species. Horizontal opening 3 times the vertical opening. 10 The Gloria Wide Body trawl has brought new levels of performance to semi-pelagic fishing operations. 11 The basic concept behind the Gloria Wide Body trawl is to target fish close to the bottom, such as cod, Alaska pollock, herring, mackerel, horse mackerel, hoki and hake. It is designed for maximum horizontal opening, allowing skippers to take a slice 12 of the bottom of a shoal, avoiding the smaller fish, which tend to swim at the top. Compared with the typical midwater trawl’s horizontal opening of between 20% and 13 40% greater than its vertical opening, the Gloria Wide Body trawl opens three times as wide as it is high. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 hampidjan.com
