Long-line Fishing




Long-line fishing is a commercial Fishing technique that uses hundreds or even thousands of baited hooks hanging from a single line. Swordfish , Tuna and Patagonian Toothfish are commonly caught by this method. It is also practiced on a smaller scale in NewZealand, where a twenty five hook maximum is perscribed by law. Long-line fishing is controversial because the lines can lead to significant Bycatch , often of Endangered Species such as Sea Turtle s and Albatross es.
