Factors Affecting the Durability of Silk Plankton Tow-Nets and Young Fish Trawl-Nets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
Owing to the combined action of bacteria, sunlight, sea-water, and general wear and tear the costly silk tow-nets when in constant use are only found to last a few months, or with less use for over twelve months. The young fish trawl-nets, made of a hemp material known as “stramin,” if used several times a week are expected to last over three months.
