Having great difficulty with the term 'utter' - appears to be a fishing aid that looks like a mini catamaran (see link). Any ideas what this is in English?

Swedish term (edited):

Selected
planer board
"Planer board fishing" eller "planer board trolling" verkar motsvara fiskemetoden med utter. En bild-googling ger många träffar på fiskeredskap av samma typ och i många varianter.

: Yes, after finding pages in both Norwegian and Danish about "oter" or "oterfiske", it seems that a planer board is comparable to "utter".

Can't say I've ever hear about this, but I found a reference to 'utterbräda', whichl led to this https://archive.org/details/otterboarddesign034863mbp.
See if this helps!

Yup, looks like both terms are used. As in:
https://www.google.ch/patents/US5341591
which cites
https://www.google.ch/patents/US1723236;
and

Great question!

: You got it Deane! Naval minesweepers just call it an "otter", as do many trawlermen. See www.minesweepers.org.uk/sweeping.htm and www.fao.org › FAO Home › Fisheries & Aquaculture

: size might be an issue. I saw "stålbord" for "Otter board" in EU legislation. It may be that Swedish uses a different term for the small ones.

Won't argue with this one, seems to be a variety of usages in both languages.

Instead, it seems to get bundled with all sorts of obviously questionable fishing techniques, like the use of firearms. I think you should have simply followed the link from the second image in your reference:
