netting which is mounted so that the two AB directions of the meshes forming the panel are, in one direction, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cod-end sensu stricto and, in the other direction, at right angles to its longitudinal axis. The AB direction is the direction parallel to a rectilinear sequence of mesh bars, each from adjacent meshes.
Any trawl, Danish seine or similar towed net of which the mesh size is equal to or greater than 100 mm may be equipped, in the upper part of the cod-end, with a section (panel or window) of square-meshed netting attached to the joinings or selvedges, having a mesh size equal to or greater than 90 mm.
