Tuna technology

摘要

Duck the weather. Find where fish live. Spot 'em. Reel 'em in. New-generation tools for tuna (and other species). Year after year, the tuna fisheries generate new technology and products at a pace that many fisheries never see. This year, four firmshave developed or improved products that caught our eye. Lindgren-Pitman has introduced the Super Spool III series of midwater longlining spools. The Generation III reels are available in four sizes: 40" X 48", 40" X 60", 40" X 80", and 48" X 80". The 40-inch spool has a 22-inch core--almost 40 percent larger than the previous system--and more than 80 percent larger than most of the competition.
