TRAWL ARRANGEMENTS

Trawl arrangement having an adjustable trawl bag volume comprising a trawl bag with connecting means each connected to one or more mesh members thereof. The connecting means have a tensile strength less than the tensile strength of said mesh members and are adapted to extend axially of the trawl bag while contracting together said trawl bag in an axial direction to form one or more axially double-layered annular folds. A break-producing portion of each connecting means has said tensile strength preselected according to the object of use, each end of said portion having a fastening portion designed for reception of mesh formations arranged directly opposite each other in the trawl bag folding. The connecting means are adapted to be fastened into the trawl bag independently of each other for absorbing their respective proportion of the axially directed tensile force therethrough.
