A combination of the cod end of a net and a V-cut opening in the cod end used outside of the central trawl region and deep water net area is a recognised BRD if— the last 33 meshes of the net from the cod end drawstrings of the net have a circumference of at least 150% of the rest of the cod end; and the opening complies with subsections (3) and (4) ; and nothing covers any part of the opening during trawling. However, subsection (1) (c) does not apply if— the meshes are left attached along the forward edge of the opening leaving a flap of net; and the edges of the flap do not extend wider than the opening during trawling. The opening must— be in the top of the net; and have 2 diagonal forward measurements of 10 bars of the net; and have a lateral measurement along its forward edge of 11 meshes of the net. The apex of the opening must not be more than 45 meshes of the net from the drawstrings. sch 2 s 105 sub 2020 SL No. 236 s 159 (sch.2-sec.105-ssec.1) A combination of the cod end of a net and a V-cut opening in the cod end used outside of the central trawl region and deep water net area is a recognised BRD if— the last 33 meshes of the net from the cod end drawstrings of the net have a circumference of at least 150% of the rest of the cod end; and the opening complies with subsections (3) and (4) ; and nothing covers any part of the opening during trawling.

(sch.2-sec.105-ssec.3) The opening must— be in the top of the net; and have 2 diagonal forward measurements of 10 bars of the net; and have a lateral measurement along its forward edge of 11 meshes of the net.
