L'écartement horizontal du chalut est assuré par les panneaux. Le filet est maintenu ouvert verticalement par des flotteurs disposés le long de la corde de dos ou simplement par la hauteur des panneaux [...] La hauteur du point médian de la corde de dos au-dessus du fond marin est dénommée «hauteur de la corde de dos». Ces paramètres géométriques sont importants dans un chalut à panneaux. Selon les espèces, les poissons peuvent être rabattus dans la trajectoire du filet par les panneaux ou par les bras et les entremises. 1, record 1, French, - hauteur%20de%20la%20corde%20de%20dos
