Hookpod-mini: a smaller potential solution to mitigate seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2019 Hookpods are an emerging technology designed to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries. Hookpod-minis were trialled in the New Zealand surface longline fishery in 2016-2017 during short-term experimental (20 longline sets) and longer-term ...
