A Novel Longline That Can Be Used By a Single Crew in the Aegean Sea: Solo Longline

open access: yesÇanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, 2020
This short paper presents an innovation on the use of a bottom longline with only a single crew on a fishing boat in the Aegean Sea. The mainline was 0.80 mm in diameter and 75 m in length, with branch lines of 0.45 mm in diameter and 70 cm in length. Distance between two adjacent branch lines was 7 m.

Threats of Longline Fishing to Global Albatross Diversity

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Albatrosses are among the most threatened seabird species. Often entangled in gillnets or hooked while longline fishing gear is being set, albatrosses are affected by fishing. This is assumed to be especially true in cases where illegal longline fishing vessels are involved, as they are less likely to implement the bycatch mitigation measures ...
