The "Bridget Carmel" with its fishing gear raised up to aid repairs. The very efficient nets have a chain mat on its belly which is designed to take high value flat sea bed dwelling fish out of their homes and into the net. Is it efficient?

It can be several thousand Euros a day depending on the size of the gear.
