An Otter Trawl

The back of the R/V Alabama Discovery with an otter trawl set up on the A-frame. Otter trawl is the most common way to collect a bunch of random fish from the middle of the water column for educational purposes.


So basically what happens is that the trawl comes up with fish in that green net currently on the table, and then they dump all the fish onto the table to look at.


And then when they're done looking, just put the fish back overboard.

  1. The fish then go back and tell odd stories of abduction to their friends...
