Concept of hydr-channel equipped fishing vessel
The peculiarities and advantages of fi shing by means receiving hydro-channel, located in the stern of the vessel below the waterline instead of traditional slip are considered. This allows receiving vast catches with the least damage to the raw material, signifi cantly reducing the load on the fi shing gear and eliminating the risk of injury when performing fi shing operations. It is shown that vessels with such channel can work effectively with trawls, Danish seines, purse seines, rigid- and soft- scaff old weirs, drifter nets and set gill nets, pound nets as well as fi shing without a network. What is more, the catch is kept fresh for a long time in the network containers installed in the hydro-channel.
