Trawling is a method of fishing that involves pulling a fishing net through the water behind one or more boats. The net that is used for trawling is called a trawl.
The boats that are used for trawling are called trawlers or draggers. Trawlers vary in size from small open boats with only 30 hp engines to large factory trawlers with over 10,000 hp. Trawling can be carried out by one trawler or by two trawlers fishing cooperatively (pair trawling).
Trawling can be contrasted with trolling, where baited fishing lines instead of trawls are drawn through the water. Trolling is used both for recreational and commercial fishing whereas trawling is used mainly for commercial fishing. Trawling is also commonly used as a scientific sampling, or survey, method.
Trawling can be divided into bottom trawling and midwater trawling, depending on how high the trawl (net) is in the water column. Bottom trawling is towing the trawl along (benthic trawling) or close to (demersal trawling) the sea floor. Midwater trawling is towing the trawl through free water above the bottom of the ocean or benthic zone.

The Truth About Bottom Trawling

A bottom trawl is a type of fishing net that's pulled along the seafloor. Fishermen commonly use bottom trawls to catch shrimp and bottom-dwelling fish like halibut and sole. However, in addition to these target fish, the nets also catch a variety of ocean life that's usually thrown back dead or dying. Dragging heavy gear across the seabed can also damage sensitive seafloor habitat. The harmful effects of bottom trawling on bottom-dwelling organisms and their habitat can be reduced by modifying the fishing gear or limiting trawling areas.

Skipper Ian Wightman shows how he uses tubes to deliver trawl-caught langoustine prawns to market - alive and in top-quality condition. View the complete playlist: http://goo.gl/35lAjG Operating his vessel EILIDH ANNE out of Largs in Ayrshire, Ian sends his prawns to market alive in individual tubes. In this way, he takes advantage of an insatiable European demand for high quality live langoustines - and gets the best prices for them. This video reflects a typical working day trawling on board the EILIDH ANNE in the Firth of Clyde. Ian Wightman was the first skipper in the UK to join the Responsible Fishing Scheme.

Bottom trawls drag huge, heavy nets along the sea floor, crushing nearly everything in their path. See the destruction first hand by watching our bottom trawling video.

Lonely stranger, you’ve been running for ages
But from what, no one can be sure
You’ve gotta stop turnin’ pages
Find a place to be pure
Lonely stranger, go forth and discover
Feelings buried in the black hole
And then you will recover
The lost part of your soul
Don’t choose the prom queen, though she’ll cure the fear
She will hurt you without tryin’
The best bet is the road without tears
You’ve seen enough cryin’
You are gettin’ no younger
Time to stop this charade
Your pain and your hunger
Drive you out of the shade
Lonely stranger, fight off all the sadness
Don’t let happiness turn to pain
Forget all the madness
And come in from the rain
Lonely stranger, it’s all caught up with you now
You cannot run any longer
