Frost trawler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a freezer trawlers or frost fishing trawler fishing vessels are called that process the fish caught below deck and in appropriate on-board refrigeration systems deep freeze. Frostfish trawlers were built from the 1960s.

history

Inshore fishing brought fresh fish ashore - was carried out in the coastal area and the ships only stayed at sea for a few days. The caught fish were stored in flake ice in the hold to keep them fresh.

Trawlers are deep-sea fishing vessels that originally fished with trawls close to the ground and only later engaged in pelagic fishing.

The big deep-sea fishing began as flotilla fishing in remote areas of the oceans, the trawlers of the fishing flotilla brought the full nets to the factory ships, which processed and frozen the fish below deck with a lot of staff. From the 1960s onwards, freeze fishing trawlers were built to catch the fish, process it below deck and freeze it [2]. Depending on their further use, portion-sized fillets or whole blocks of fish were frozen, which later became fish fingers in fish factories on land. The frost trawlers got bigger and bigger, reached sizes of over 100 meters and largely replaced the factory ships.

The world's largest factory ship is the Vladivostok 2000 , which was converted from a tanker in China , operates worldwide and is controversial in international fishing. It was included in the IUU list of illegal fishing vessels by the international fisheries organization SPRFMO , founded in 2012.
