Premium knotless netting constructed from high-tenacity polyethylene for maximum durability in commercial fishing applications. Designed for bottom trawling with superior abrasion resistance.
Bottom trawling is one of the most demanding applications for fishing netting — nets are dragged along the seabed for extended periods, subjected to constant abrasion, and must retain their shape and mesh geometry under heavy loads of catch.
WireCo, through Euronete, manufactures trawl netting, codends, trawl twines, and ancillary net components designed for the specific species, depths, and seabed conditions of commercial trawl fisheries. Our products prioritize durability, catch retention, and drag efficiency — factors that directly impact fuel cost and profitability per trip.
With decades of experience serving trawl fleets in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and beyond, Euronete's local expertise helps skippers and fleet operators select the right netting for their fishery.
The problems WireCo products are engineered to solve.
Trawl nets are dragged across the ocean floor, exposing netting to constant abrasion from sand, rock, and coral.
Lighter, lower-drag netting reduces fuel consumption — a critical cost driver for commercial fishing operations.
Regulatory requirements demand precise mesh sizes and escape panels to reduce bycatch and protect juvenile fish populations.
Frequent net repairs reduce fishing time. Durable netting that resists tears and maintains mesh geometry extends operational periods between repairs.
Euronete's trawl netting uses high-tenacity polyethylene and proprietary twine constructions that resist seabed abrasion significantly longer than standard materials. Eurocross and PE Netting products are designed to maintain mesh geometry and knot strength through hundreds of hours of bottom contact.
Euronete works with fleet operators to specify twine diameter, mesh configuration, and panel geometry that balances catch efficiency with hydrodynamic drag. The right netting specification can reduce fuel consumption per tow while maintaining or improving catch rates.
Euronete's product range includes netting and selectivity components designed to meet the bycatch regulations of specific fisheries — including EU, NAFO, and national requirements. Our local sales teams understand the regulatory requirements of each fishing region and can specify compliant gear configurations.
