The mesh opening shall be no less than 105 mm. The exit window shall be attached with a separate piece of netting (between the ordinary diamond meshes and the meshes of the exit window). The mesh size of the separate netting shall be identical to the bar length of the exit window times the square root of two. The exit window shall be attached on both sides of the codend, and the distance between the rear end of the codend and the window shall be 40 to 50 cm. The length of the window shall be 80 % of the total length of the codend and the height of the window shall be 50 cm (Figure 1). The window shall be mounted in a way that gives an opening between the upper and lower seams of the window of 15 to 20 cm. Exit windows (model 2) Identification of the windows The windows shall be rectangular sections of netting in the codend. There shall be two windows in the codend. Size of the windows Each window shall have a minimum width of 45 cm along its entire length. Each window shall have a minimum length of 3,5 m measured along its sides (Figure 2) and the length of the window shall not be less than 80 % of the total length of the codend. Netting of the windows The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be square meshes, i. e. all four sides of the window netting will be cut by all bars. The netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and perpendicular to the length of the codend. The window width shall be eight open square meshes. Location of the windows The codend shall be divided into upper and lower panels by selvedges running down the port and starboard sides. The two windows shall be located in the lower panel, immediately adjacent to and below the selvedges. The windows shall terminate between 40-50 cm from the codline (Figure 2). The forward end of the window shall be joined to eight meshes’ width of the normal codend netting. One side shall join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent to the selvedge and the other side shall be joined to the normal codend lower panel netting following a straight line of meshes all knots cut. Mesh size in the whole codend All parts of the codend shall confirm to a minimum mesh size of 105 mm.
