Underwater observation of different trawl constructions in the Eastern Adriatic.

Mediterranean « tartana» type of trawl is the main bottom trawl design in the Adriatic. It is used evenly on Croatian side as well as on Italian side of the Adriatic, but also in many other Mediterranean countries. Due to its construction and small mesh size, « tartana» bottom trawl is unselective and presumed as inadequate for works on subject of selectivity. Therefore, new designs of bottom trawl, based on double panel trawl designs, have been constructed in order to allow proper research on bottom trawl selectivity. During research, underwater video camera has been used and some technical parametars of trawls have been observed. Results of those observations, from four different trawl constructions, have been presented in this paper.
