• the beams or covers or fairings 4 may for example be triangular or rounded. They can also be flat, provided they are preferably oriented at an angle of plus or minus 30 ° to 60 ° relative to the direction of movement of the ship.
• the beams or covers or fairings 4 increase the efficiency of the pickup devices 8 and reduce at the same time the cost compared to a row of fully closed collection devices.
• the fish can pass easily between a beam or hood or fairing 4 and a pickup device 8 to a space 5 between two pickup devices. However, the waste is diverted by the beams or hoods or fairings 4 to the pickup devices 8 and are collected efficiently.
• the row 20 is a double row of devices in the row 10, arranged in a staggered way to allow one side of the fish to pass and on the other side to pick up all the waste including the waste passing through the spaces of the devices further forward with respect to the direction of movement D of the ship.

• the collection devices of this section are particularly robust to be able to pick up large objects. They do not oppose a great resistance for the passage of water. The increase of the speed of the water has no particular effect.
• Pick-up devices for picking up medium-sized objects are more water resistant and more fragile. It is therefore necessary to reduce the speed of passage of water in the second row. Between the devices are spaces for passing fish. The spaces are of sufficient size to allow fish and debris smaller than the objects that are picked up by the devices in row 20 to pass.
• the row 30 of pickup devices is intended to pick up small objects.
• the devices are arranged in horizontal offset, with overlapping edges, to allow fish to pass while effectively picking up the waste.
