This report describes the findings of an experimental voyage of the MFV 'Marantha III' to the deep water grounds of the North Atlantic Slope. The primary objective of the voyage was to conduct a series of instrumental trials to assess the performance and power demands of both the propulsion engine and trawl winches when fishing at depths from 200-1000 metres. Fishing gear performance, the post harvest care of the catch and the results of quality assessments of the main deep water species are also discussed.
