The MOC 10 trawl

The MOC 10 trawl is lowered from the stern of the research ship. The collecting nets will remain closed until they reach the desired depth. Then they will be opened either electronically or mechanically by controls on the ship. Image courtesy of 2007: Exploring the Inner Space of the Celebes Sea.
