The trawls used by trawlers , both the pelagic swimming trawls and the much smaller bottom trawls, are funnel-shaped and end in a hose-like collection bag, the so-called codend, which is often spherical at its end, in which the fish caught in the net are collected become. After the cod-end has been hoisted on board at the end of a trawl voyage, it can be opened at its end using the so-called “cod line” in order to empty the catch onto the deck. In the case of large catches, the cod-end is filled several times from the “tunnel”, the section of net in front of it, tied off and brought to deck and emptied.
