Bottom trawl are really big fishing nets that are attached to a big boat. The nets are so big that they catch a lot of fish, but its ruining the bottom of the ocean floor and tearing up the coral reefs and everything on the ocean floor. The nets catch a lot of fish but they usually want to catch a certain kind of fish and all the fish that they didn't want to catch they usually just throw the ones that they didn't want away, so that's a waste of fish. And since they are catching so many fish because its a really big net they could be making the fish go extinct. Trawl fishing is a big issue on all the fish and the ocean floor.
Fishing with bottom trawl and dredge fishing.
The use of mobile fishing gear has starting to become a concern because of the size of the effected fishing grounds, because of the disturbance to the ocean floor/ seafloor, and removal of the non-target species.
