|
| But around 100,000 a year are slaughtered by longline fishing, and 19 of the 21 species of albatross are now threatened with extinction. |
|
| Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. |
|
| We have very little bycatch on the trap fishery and very little on the longline fishery as well. |
|
| In addition, the longline fishery targeted at Greenland halibut in the sector occupied by striped bass in the St. Lawrence Estuary is uncommon. |
|
| There is also an offshore longline pelagic fishery with only one longline vessel in operation. |
|
| He then intentionally allowed the nose to drift to the right to facilitate the positioning of the longline. |
|
| It is expected that this will reduce the FOC tuna longline fleet by about half. |
|
| Moreover, the number of longline vessels has been reduced in some countries. |
|
| The unsuitability of longline fisheries in this area rich in seabirds, sharks and turtles was also noted. |
|
| Initial work should focus on pelagic longline methods for seabirds and turtles. |
|
| However, the greatest portion of tunas and swordfish are taken by the longline vessels, which specifically target these species. |
|
|
|
| Porbeagle, blue and shortfin mako sharks interact with other pelagic species and are caught in longline fisheries directed at tuna and swordfish. |
|
| The project organisers also recommend kick-starting the venture by demise chartering six longline vessels under government's current fishing policy. |
|
| Therefore, it is probable that the pilot's action during the emergency did not activate the external cargo hook release mechanism and, rather, that the trailing longline snagged a tree while the helicopter was still airborne. |
|
| In order for the pilot to more easily conduct the slinging and longline operations, he sat on a pillow in the left seat with his head and helmet in the bubble window and the shoulder harness unfastened. |
|
| It is important for longline fisheries because of its high quality meat. |
|
| These are fisheries directing for halibut and carried out by bottom longline, and for swordfish, shark, and tuna, generally carried out by pelagic longline. |

|
| Fluttering streamers could save seabirds from fatal encounters with many longline fishing boats, according to a big study. |
|
| Comparative use of longline oysterbeds and adjacent tidal flats by waterbirds. |
|
| To improve landings statistics especially for large pelagic species, the Fisheries Division has already designed logbooks that will be introduced on a trial basis to both the longline and iceboat fleets later this year. |
|
| Billfishes and dolphinfish were noted among landings from pelagic gillnet and longline fisheries. |
|
| At last count, I own 15, ranging from a Christopher Kane crochet number to a fluoro Pringle longline design and a hand-knitted, washed-out pink Arran that is currently my favourite. |
|
| The Japanese introduced drums in longline fishing for tuna. |
|
| Certain fisheries are proceeding on an interim basis, and we understand other fisheries-most notably the ling cod jig fishery and the dogfish longline fishery-may be opened soon, subject to some interim measures. |
|
| Kicky little skirts that peeped out from under that longline blazer or equally oversized knits. |
|
| The fishery is prosecuted with a variety of gear types, including electric reel, handline, and longline gears. |
|
| The US longline fleet had to shut down for the second half of 2005 in the Eastern Pacific. |
|
| In the dressing room, the smiling attendant helped her into the longline corset with its built-in bra. |
|
| Strapless longline bra, with wired underbust and flexible boning, smooths womanly curves. |
|
| The Agulhas Bank is also significant for fisheries who use demersal trawling, demersal longline fishing, and midwater trawl fishing on the bank. |
|
|
|
| In 2005, when Korean and Philippine vessels started longline fishing along the edges of the Agulhas Bank, seabird bycatch became a huge problem. |
|
| These operations are referred to as longline because of the long, single sling line used to carry the load. |
|
| Image: Simple modifications to fishing techniques can help to prevent the unnecessary bycatch of seabirds such as the Black-browed Albatross, which is threatened by the impacts of commercial longline fisheries in particular. |
|
| The basket, containing the drilling equipment, was still attached to the longline and came to rest undamaged at the south edge of the east-west cutline, about 54 feet south of the helicopter. |
|
| The Madrona has a longline, which consists of a long heavy fishline with numerous baited hooks that sometimes extends for several miles and that may be used as a setline or arranged to drift with current or tide. |
|
| During departure, the Bell 206L collided with the longline, causing the Bell 206L to break up inflight and crash near the shore of Kaipokok Bay, on the southern edge of Postville. |
|
| However, mortality resulting from incidental bycatch continues as multinational longline fisheries target tunas and swordfish, Xiphias gladius, throughout the Atlantic. |
|
| The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds launched a mass appeal to bird lovers nationwide, to help save the species under threat due to longline fishing methods. |
|
| Or seek out a longline balconette bra, which has a wider band. |
|
| Teleosts, such as red drum, Atlantic croaker, oyster toadfish, black sea bass, and the bluefish, showed no hook preference in either hook-and-line or longline studies. |
|
| A primary threat to those ocean resources comes from industrial longline fishing, an industry that sets over 5 million baited hooks every day, creating a curtain of death. |
|
| Longline fisheries pose the greatest threat, as feeding birds are attracted to the bait, become hooked on the lines, and drown. |
