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? Yes it is, the downside of this efficiency at catching fish is the inefficiency of towing this type of gear. its very heavy and results in high fuels consumption. It can be several thousand Euros a day depending on the size of the gear.
