A new type of fishing trawls was designed for use in Cameroonian waters. The trawls were tested in a tank to see how well they worked. The results showed that the trawls could catch fish effectively at certain speeds and with specific door sizes. The physical tests matched closely with the predicted results, showing that the trawls were well-designed for their intended use.
