Pelagic vessel

A pelagic vessel is a large fishing ship designed to operate far from the coast, in the open ocean. It targets species that live in mid-water, such as tuna, mackerel, and herring. These ships use massive nets or trawls that do not touch the seabed, allowing efficient capture of schooling fish. Equipped with advanced sonar, refrigeration, and processing facilities, they can remain at sea for extended periods.
