fishing trawler

Commercial catch vessel

A fishing trawler is a boat designed to catch fish by dragging a large net (a trawl) through the water.

Trawlers range from small coastal vessels to large factory ships that process their catch at sea.

The fishing trawler returned to port with its hold full of cod.
