sch.2-sec.113 V-cut and bell cod end

A combination of the cod end of a net and a V-cut opening in the cod end is a recognised BRD if— the following number of the meshes of the net before the cod end drawstrings of the net have a circumference of at least 150% of the rest of the cod end— if the net has a mesh size of less than 31mm—50; if the net has a mesh size of 31mm or more—40; 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 the following number of bars of the net each— if the net has a mesh size of less than 31mm—15; if the net has a mesh size of 31mm or more—12; and have a lateral measurement along its forward edge of the following number of meshes of the net— if the net has a mesh size of less than 31mm—16; if the net has a mesh size of 31mm or more—13. The apex of the opening must not be more than the following number of meshes of the net from the drawstrings— if the net has a mesh size of less than 31mm—65; if the net has a mesh size of 31mm or more—55. sch 2 s 113 sub 2020 SL No. 236 s 159 (sch.2-sec.113-ssec.1) A combination of the cod end of a net and a V-cut opening in the cod end is a recognised BRD if— the following number of the meshes of the net before the cod end drawstrings of the net have a circumference of at least 150% of the rest of the cod end— if the net has a mesh size of less than 31mm—50; if the net has a mesh size of 31mm or more—40; and the opening complies with subsections (3) and (4) ; and nothing covers any part of the opening during trawling.
