Stern trawling is a more recent development that is superseding side trawling. Built over the stern[, ] there is usually a gantry for operating the net and warps, and many stern trawlers have a slipway in the stern up which the net is hauled. This means the cod end does not have to be lifted over the stern or side. This technique allows greater mechanization, speeding up the hauling of the net and making the trawlerman's life a little less arduous. 2, record 3, English, - stern%20trawling

The trawl net is set over the side by the crew and the warps(wire ropes) passed over blocks hanging from the gallows. 2, record 4, English, - side%20trawling
