摘要

Longline fishing is a technique that involves deploying a long line with baited hooks attached at intervals behind a boat. It's a common technique used to catch many high-value species including halibut, tuna, and sablefish.However, those fish are sometimes caught along with unintended targets - known as bycatch - including about 160,000 seabirds a year globally.
