1899 Geogr. Jrnl. Feb. 153 There are two schools of tow~netters: the old-fashioned method..by which the nets are towed horizontally; and the new method, by which an opening and closing net is let down as vertically as may be, and hauled in open through a given vertical area and then closed.

1905 Trans. Linn. Soc.: Zool. 10 128 It is in the experience of every tow-netter that a wide-meshed net, which allows of a faster current through it, catches more of such organisms [sc. strong-swimming plankton species] than a fine-meshed net, in which the current is reduced.
