Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 36: May/June 1984Similar, but smaller, trawls are used by smaller boats working closer to the shore or in the large coastal bays, passes or estuaries during the legal season. The size of the trawl used is limited to 50 feet in width in inshore waters, and multiple trawls are prohibited.Although the otter trawl has been the mainstay of the commercial shrimping industry since its introduction in the early part of this century, it has come under untense compe tition since the 19505, when the wing or butterfly nets were introduced. These efficient fishing tools are mesh nets held open by rigid frames which can be sus ended from a boat, barge or permanent dock to harvest s rimp in the upper layers of the water column. Although they are pri marily used from a stationary position, depending upon water currents to bring the shrimp to the net, they may also be suspended from a slowly moving boat. Wing nets are used in inshore waters and are limited by law to a maximum width of 22 feet, or a 12 foot net on each side of a boat.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
