Norway Lobster of course, best known at home as the « demoiselle of Loctudy », but also monkfish, always appreciated for its delicate flesh. Here is how our ships fish it.
Fishing technique

Species
Bottom trawling mainly targets demersal species, which live near the seabed, and benthic species, which live on the seabed. .
