This week we've been very happy to test-run the second version of our MiniTrawl for performing small scale simulations of trawl fishing procedures. It's shown in the image above, being flown in a swim flume and with minnows for scale! Huge thank you to the workshop at the Marine Institute at the Memorial University of Newfoundland for the trawl design and construction. It certainly constitutes an improvement over our latest version, which was made from tights! (though still worked like a charm):
