These vessels sailed into remote waters and processed the <a href="/wiki/Whale_oil" title="Whale oil">whale oil</a> on board, discarding the carcass. Later whalers converted the entire whale into usable products. The efficiency of these ships and the predation they carried out on whales contributed greatly to the animals' steep decline. </p><p>Contemporary factory ships are automated and enlarged versions of these earlier whalers. Their use for fishing has grown dramatically. For a while, <a href="/wiki/Russia" title="Russia">Russia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Korea" title="Korea">Korea</a> operated huge fishing fleets centred on factory ships, though in recent times this use has been declining. On the other hand, the use of factory ships by the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> has increased. </p><p>Some factory ships can also function as <a href="/wiki/Mother_ship" title="Mother ship">mother ships</a>. The basic idea of a mother ship is that it can carry small fishing boats that return to the mother ship with their catch. But the idea extends to include factory trawlers supporting a fleet of smaller catching vessels that are not carried on board. They serve as the main ship in a fleet operating in waters a great distance from their home ports. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Factory_ship&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Types"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Fish processing ships consist of various types, including freezer trawlers, longline factory vessels, purse seine freezer vessels, stern trawlers and squid jiggers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Factory_stern_trawler">Factory stern trawler</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Factory_ship&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Factory stern trawler"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Fishing_trawler" title="Fishing trawler">Fishing trawler</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_(ship,_1973)_by-RaBoe.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg/220px-Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg/330px-Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg/440px-Cuxhaven_2006_Wiesbaden_%28ship%2C_1973%29_by-RaBoe.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1050" /></a><figcaption>The factory trawler <i>Wiesbaden</i></figcaption></figure> <p>A factory stern trawler is a large <a href="/wiki/Stern_trawler" class="mw-redirect" title="Stern trawler">stern trawler</a> which has additional onboard processing facilities and can stay at sea for days or weeks at a time.

The net is then pursed, closing the bottom of the net, then pulling up the net until the fish are caught alongside the vessel. Most of these types of vessels then transfer the fish into a tank filled with brine (extra salty refrigerated water). This freezes large amounts of fish quickly. Trip lengths can vary from 20 to 70 days depending on the fishing. The fish is held in refrigerated brine tanks and unloads either directly to the canneries or is trans-shipped to carrier vessels to freight to the canneries, leaving the purse seine vessel close to the fishing grounds to continue fishing.
