For subsection (2) , the length of the net must be worked out from the combined length of the following ropes when taut— the head and bottom ropes; the rope fixing the net’s opening size; the ropes to which the net’s mesh is attached; the part of another rope, other than a lazy line or log rope, to which a wing net is attached. For an otter trawl net— each of its sweeps must not be longer than 128m; and the net must not be used from a boat longer than 20m; and the net must be used with a TED that complies with schedule 2 , part 2 , division 11 . For subsection (4) (a) , an otter trawl net’s sweeps includes a chain, rope, shackle, wire or other fitting used to attach otter boards or sleds to the net. However, if 2 or more fittings mentioned in subsection (5) are joined to make a single fitting, the single fitting is 1 sweep. For a seine net— each of the 2 haul ropes attached to the net must not be longer than 2,500m; and the end of the haul rope that is first deployed when the net is deployed must be marked with a floating buoy that is clearly visible on the surface of the water; and the net must not be used from a boat longer than 25m.
