ABSTRACT:
The doorless trawling apparatus provides for positive spreading of the opening of a trawling net by means of a plurality of toggle spreading bars which spread the net by a combination of towing force and water resistance. The net may be collapsed for hauling in or avoiding obstructions by a positively activated collapse mechanism or a safety release. The trawling depth is controlled by a variable buoyancy float system.
