Wet fish trawler
The wet fish trawler is a fishing type of vessel for commercial fishing. A wet fish trawler is often a smaller type of vessel that operates on fishing grounds closer to shore. The vessel is also called fresh fish trawler, as it keept the fish caught fresh until it is landed on shore. The wet fish trawler contains the fish in boxes or covered in ice the hold. The wet fish trawler must operate relatively close to shore to get the highest quality of the fish. In addition, the wet fish trawler mostly catches white fish species for human consumption, as cod, flounder, lobster or pollock.
Stern trawler
The wet fish stern trawler type is the most common type with trawl winches and its main operations at the stern. Modern wet fish trawlers catch fish by pulling a net, called the trawl, through the water on the fishing grounds, until the trawl is filled. Hereafter it hauls in the trawl to stern and onto the vessel. At some vessels the fish will be processed before it is stored in the holds.
