There are two otter doors, one on eAch side of the net. They, are hung vertically and when the net is being. towed the water action forces them apart.

Along the bottom of the cod end are fastened cowhides the net when it is dragging the bottom from the weight of the fish caught in it : On either side of thé centre of the footrope, a rope is fastened: which goes around the outside of ‘the net and is looped through the headline near its centre These two ropes are called quarter ropes and they are used to close the mouth of the net when it is being drawn in The net is towed by two steel esbles which pass through. pul- leys. .called gallows, of the stern, cables..pass-.through the gallows to two winches in the forward part of the ship The net is made ready for fish ing as the boat, sails to the fish- ing grounds. once there the set- ting of-the net begins
SETTING THE NET
Two doors in the stern rail are openéd to allow the net to pass into the water. The cod end is thrown over the, stern first and as the boat moves slowly through the water it drags the rest of the net in after it. The last part of the net to go in, is the mouth with the bobbins and floats. The otter doors are not, in fact attached to the net .itself, bu rather to the cable abou 12 feet from the mouth.
The otter doors are not in the water ‘yet, when the ‘captain sees that the floats’ and bobbins are out of the boat, he isenenses the” s and then sounds the aot wore as a signal to let the

STORE CATCH
The cod end is tied closed again and the trawl is cet again Putting the trawl in the water is called ‘‘shooting the trawl” ;When the trawl] has been set land is back on the bottom, cat- iching more fish the crew gets to ‘work storing the fish which has just been caught in the hold.
If the, weathér and fishing are good ‘this ‘process is repeated every two and a half hours, -day and night, 24 hours a day. In a good catch there will be about three or four thousand pounds of fish on each haul of the net
In each catch there usually are cod, hake and flounder. The flounder are merely forked onto a convenor which carries them tn the~hold? where two ofthe crew members place them in boxes and ice them down The cod and hake are gutted and cleaned before they are boxed and iced in the hold and this is what the rest of the crew is do- ing while the two in the hold are icing and boxing the results. ev- ervone, except the captain and the cook, takes part in the fish- ing operation
NEW TYPE BOXES
boxes used by the Gulf Garden ships are new inovation in this country, traditionally the fish are placed in the hold in bulk and iced down. The boxes are four feet long, two feet wide and a foot deep They hold slightly over 100 pounds of fish and each boat goes to sea with some 1.0 of them The boxes have a lip on the top to which the bottom of ‘another. box -fits, imaking them self stacking |~ The boxes at# used to insure
