(a) this netting shall have a mesh size not less than that specified for the codend in Article 5; (b) this netting may be fastened to the codend only along the forward and lateral edges of the netting and at no other place in it, and shall be fastened in such a manner that it extends forward of the splitting strap no more than four meshes and ends not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh; where a splitting strap is not used, the netting shall not extend to more than one-third of the codend measured from not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh; (c) the width of this netting shall be at least one and a half times the width of the Area of the codend which is covered, such widths to be measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend.
(i) each piece of netting (a) is fastened by its forward edge only across the codend at right angles to its long axis; (b) is of a width of at least the width of the codend (such width being measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend at the point of attachment); and (c) is not more than 10 meshes long; and
(ii) the aggregate length of all the pieces of netting so attached does not exceed two-thirds of the length of the codend.
