The frame of the MOC 10 trawl is bolted together on the dock next to the ship. Once the frame is assembled the white nets rolled up on the asphalt behind the frame will be attached. The mouth of each net is 10 square meters in area. With such big nets, we hope to catch rare and large animals that would not be captured in nets with smaller openings.
