On the relative efficiency of different shaped otter boards

Rectangular, horizontal curved and oval otter boards were tested under identical fishing conditions and their relative efficiency ascertained on the basis of towing tension and the horizontal opening of the boards. While the tension in the warps with the different otter boards was not significant, the horizontal curved board gave increased lateral spread to the net.
