Talk:Trawling

Comment on pair trawling
There is not one warp per boat but two, one for the top and bottom of each side of the trawl
 * Pair trawls normally consist of one warp per boat, splitting into upper and lower bridles close to the trawl wingends. Only in very specific fisheries would a pair trawl team add the complexity of upper and lower warps. 24.84.48.88 23:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

All pelagic pair-trawling make use of TWO warps per boat one for the top, one for the bottom of each side of the trawl. Otherwise you are not able to control how the trawl is moving up/down in the water. This complexity as you call it is the whole point of pair trawling as you achieve more precise control over the trawls up/down movement. I can assure you that a majority of pair trawlers use this method.

Misrendering
The page renders completely wrong for me now on Mozilla 1.0.2. I'll check on a new Firefox at home, but I think it should work here too. It was fine before Anthony Appleyard last edit. --Apoc2400 04:29, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

How bottom Trawling works
I like the picture at the bottom of this link. It offer a lot of visual details by including scale (metres) that we currently lack on wikipedia article

This photo would be a nice addition to the ecological effects of trawling: TimothyPilgrim 15:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm
I'm a bit iffy about the "Learn About Destructive Trawling and What You Can Do to Help" link. While it may contain useful information, the title of the link adds POV and instruction to the article. I think the title should at least be changed. ▫Bad▫ harlick♠ 03:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
This is referring to the Ecological Damage section. Upon reading this article for the first time I noticed that the POV of this section is definitely not neutral. The section immediately above it on selectivity does a much better job of getting across the problem without bashing trawling. Some examples: "Trawling is one of the all time worst ways to fish" "it is INCREDIBLY destructive to the ocean bottom" It seems to be written by someone advocating the banning of trawling rather than someone trying to document it. What do you guys think? What about the statement in external links suggesting supposed benefits, anybody know about that? Croft465 20:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have cleaned up what I see as most of the POV in this section, but would prefer to await consensus before removing the NPOV tag. B f p  (talk) 13:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the history it seems that someone added in those naughty parts. I think it sounds much better now. Croft465 8:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

'Not found'
For ref 1 (Not found) it appears to be a dead link. Can someone go into history to find what the original link was? Sungodtemple (talk) 22:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
