In many pelagic longline fisheries around the world there is reluctance to adopt a line weighting regime that will sink fishing gear rapidly to reduce seabird bycatch.
Further development of safe, fast-sinking branch line weighting configurations and bird-scaring lines less prone to tangling on fishing gear is critical to this effort.
We also added weight to a subset of branch lines, and compared the effects of line weighting and night vs. day setting in combination with bird-scaring lines on bird and fish catch rates.
Overall, results suggest that night setting, adequate branch line weighting, and proper deployment of two bird-scaring lines have the potential to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries without reducing the catch rates of target fishes.
Various gear technology mitigation methods, involving changes in fishing gear and methods, have been developed to reduce seabird bycatch, including bird-scaring 'tori' lines, underwater setting devices, side setting, blue-dyed bait, line weighting, night setting, and thawing bait, with varying degrees of efficacy at bird bycatch avoidance under experimental conditions [3], [14], [18] [22].
