See the link below for public details on this project.

---- Public Summary from Project ----
Longline fisheries represent a serious threat to the survival of Southern Ocean albatrosses and petrels. During line setting operations seabirds become entangled with baited hooks and are drawn underwater and drown. In the past 10-20 years populations of ... View entire text

SHIPS Ancillary Description
Quality The experiment tested 52 combinations of swivel weight, bait type and bottom length. During the experiment practical constraints meant that data were not always collected in a logical series. The data are good, but is not easy to interpret without talking to those that undertook the experiment.

The values provided in spatial coverage are approximate only.
