Negatives of ‘ropeless’ fishing?
● Cost
● Illegal fishing and other activities
● Increasing length of process
(deployment and retrieval of gear)
● New equipment required
● Management and control of deployment
● ‘Stacking’ of fishing gear
● Extra weight and space
● Maintenance of electronic
system e.g. batteries
● New skills required
