| | | with its row of teeth | Explanation:
harrowing the sea bed with its row of teeth...
The dredge is dragged over a soft sea bed where bivalve molluscs (such as scallops and
clams) live in the surface mud. The cage has a "mouth" (a rectangular opening) which is presented to
the sea-bed surface during fishing. Often, welded to the lower "jaw" – usually a metal bar – are "teeth",

usually from 9 to 15 cm long, depending on the target species. These teeth "harrow" the sea bed to
disturb the target species, usually molluscs. |
