  -> merci
neutral  FX Fraipont (X): ce n'est pas la ralingue de fond, mais les cordes qui font remonter (lift-up) le chalut pour éviter les pierres

  -> je n'ai jamais dit que c'était une ralingue mais une corde ou bourrelet qui fait remonter le filet.. voir crevettier
agree  HERBET Abel: remonter c'est éviter, mais c'est plus une sorte de bande qui bloque dessus puis passe au dessus ou évite la pierre grâce à sa forme et son élasticté

Explanation:
"Some beam trawls are also fitted with ‘flip up ropes’ to prevent stones from entering the net and damaging it. This is a rope mesh fence towed ahead of the footrope to lift the footrope over any obstacles on the seabed.

"Subject: Flip-up Rigs (Stone Catchers) for Trawls ++ YouTube Video ++

A short demonstration of how a flip-up rig can prevent boulders and large stones from becoming caught in a demersal (bottom) trawl during fishing. Flip-up rigs fitted to a trawl when working on stony ground can often save fishing crews time and money in repairs. A flip-up rig will also help a trawl to glide safely over obstacles that would otherwise cause the trawl to become fast (snagged).


The video includes footage of a 1/15 scale model trawl in a flume tank, together with underwater observations of a full size trawl operating on stony ground. Contact Sea Fish Industry Authority - or visit our website - for more information on how to construct a flip-up rig suitable for your trawl."
