Abstract
A segment for use in a trawl system having a cable and a longitudinal axis. The segment has a segment body and at least one passage extending from an inner side to an outer side of the body for receiving the cable of the trawl system. The segment body is hydrodynamically shaped such that the segment is urged away from the longitudinal axis when the segment is pulled through water by the cable. A trawl net system is also disclosed.
