"A funnel-shaped net designed to trap organisms at its closed-end while being trawled along the seafloor. It is composed of a non-fixed wide mouth attached to the main wire and held open horizontally by an otter board at each side; a tickler chain is mounted across the lower edge of the net to keep it in contact with the ground, whereas a float fixed to the top of the net ensures its vertical spread. Typically, a semi-balloon otter trawl has a mouth size of approximately 2m x 8.5m; the net has a fine mash and it is mounted to a head rope of maximum 14m in length. This type of trawl is ideal for deep-water sampling of megafauna near the seafloor, mostly for conducting species diversity, abundance and biomass studies. The semi-balloon otter trawl is also known as OTSB, OTSB 14 and Marinovitch Trawl. Ref: Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos, fourth edition by WILEY Blackwell."@en .
