The article considers the problems of compatibility between the hydrodynamic resistance of the trawl and the actual trawler's thrust, which have lost the ability to provide the necessary traction force due to the increase in the resistance of the ship's hull and wear of the engine-propulsion system. The area of resistance of the trawl system is proposed to be reduced by reducing the linear dimensions of the layers of the trawl part, as well as by replacing some layers of the trawl with a smaller mesh by those with larger meshes. It is noted that during fishing vessel masters often make an intuitive decision to replace trawls with those of less powerful vessels. Methods of reducing the area of trawl resistance are considered, which will lead to a decrease in its hydrodynamic resistance of the trawl fishing system. Numerical examples of the considered technique are given. The trawl plate P-K-120/1120, full-scale and modernized parts of the trawl are illustrated. The results of the trawl part modernization are presented, and the formula for calculating the fictitious trawl area is presented. The method of modernization of the trawl due to the increase in the size of the trawl in some parts of the trawl is analyzed, the average weighted step of the mesh in the full-scale trawl is calculated. The developed methodology should allow solving the problem of trawl modernization promptly, in the conditions of the fishing deck, by the forces of the ship’s crew. The proposed methods for the modernization of a fishing trawl will allow avoiding large costs for the repair of the main engine of a fishing vessel operating a trawl that does not correspond to the technical condition of the trawler, or to reduce the underfishing with a smaller trawl.
