Description The O275 'Deo Volente' is pair trawling with the O135 'Marie Jeanine' in the German Bight, fishing for cod during summertime. For a few years these vessels could catch there huge cod in large amounts. In 3 to 4 days both ship were full and landing had to be done in England in between the trip. In four years this population was completely overfished and crashed. Every year the size of the cod decreased and afterwards only (too) small cod was caught and had to go back into the sea (dead).
