• The sampling gear is an "eastern" otter trawl with a 25.3 m headrope and 34.1 m footrope.

  Academic text (1992)

• A SCANMAR acoustic sensor was used to measure net height; that is, the distance from the center of the headrope to the bottom.

  Academic text (1998)

• Most observed vessels utilized a transducer, or net sounder, placed on either the headrope or footrope to determine the depth and opening of the net.

  Academic text (1994)

• While fishermen believe that net depth recorded by the transducer is important to fishing success and marine mammal avoidance (Venturo, 1993), only limited headrope, or gear, depth data were collected in 1992.

  Academic text (1994)

• Also attached to the headrope were a Branker XL-200 data logger for measuring depth and temperature and a Furuno acoustic link netsounder for observing net height and the approximate position of the ground gear relative to the bottom.

• The headrope of the fishing net provides essential support during trawling.

• Fishermen checked the headrope to ensure it was properly secured before deploying the net.
