A net includes at least two ropes (2, 4), at least one mesh, wherein at least one corner of a mesh is formed by a knot (15) formed by two of the ropes (2, 4). The knot includes a first and a second opening (6, 8) in the first rope (2) through which the second rope (4) passes, and a first opening (10) in the second rope (4) through which the first rope (2) passes. A part of the first rope (2) is being positioned in the first opening (10) in the second rope (4) being in between the first and second opening (6, 8) of the first rope (2).

A lace line for forming structures including netting, such as codends, trawl nets, seines and fish pens, The lace line includes at least several distinct loop tails that are interlaced and/or interconnected with one another so as to form several lacing loops, In other aspects, the present disclosure teaches a codend including at least four hung-in riblines having at least four netting panels formed mainly and preferably entirely of T90 mesh, where the T90 mesh mainly and preferably entirely includes a mesh size of between one hundred sixty and one hundred ninety five millimeters, in combination with a hang percentage of between ten and twenty four percent.

The present disclosure provides composite materials comprising nettings, mattings or meshes thermally bonded to outer layers of nonwoven fibers that may be configured for use in a variety of applications and products. A composite material comprises a first layer of netting comprising intersecting strands and a second layer in contact with the first layer. The second layer comprises first and second fiber components. The first fiber components have a melting point at least 20 degrees higher than the melting point of the netting. The second fiber components have a melting point within 20 degrees Celsius of the fibers in the netting layer. This allows the second fiber components to thermally bond with the netting at contact points upon the application of heat and pressure. The first fiber components do not substantially thermally bond to the netting and thus form an outer layer, such as a sock, that protects the netting layer.
