sch.2-sec.112 Bigeye

An opening, commonly known as a bigeye, in a net is a recognised BRD if the opening complies with this section. The opening must be— in the top of the net; and at least 230mm across the width of the net; and no more than 80 meshes from the cod end drawstrings of the net. The edges of the opening must not overlap by more than 200mm. During trawling— the part of the opening closest to the mouth of the net must be weighted by an approved chain or 300g of other weights; and the part of the opening closest to the cod end drawstrings of the net must be buoyed by at least 1 float that is at least— 90mm wide; and 50mm in diameter; and nothing must cover any part of the opening. In this section— approved chain means a chain that— weighs at least 300g; and contains at least the following number of links— for a chain with links 4mm in diameter—42; for a chain with links 6mm in diameter—12; for a chain with links 8mm in diameter—6; for a chain with links 10mm in diameter—3. sch 2 s 112 sub 2020 SL No. 236 s 159 (sch.2-sec.112-ssec.1) An opening, commonly known as a bigeye, in a net is a recognised BRD if the opening complies with this section.
