LONGLINERS

Called longliner boats are those who are engaged in angling. This is a fishing technique that was first used by the man. As its name suggests in English, it means longline. This is a fishing method that uses a long extended main line in the water, to which is attach to additional lines regular intervals, each attached to a hook with bait or bait fish allowing the fish through the mouth. In our province there is the fishing boat named OLIVIA II belonging Beagle. For artisanal fishermen who operate vessels up 3 ton or up 5 your, Longline is a very important method much like fishing with hand line (angling) or gillnets (guill net).

Longline fishing methods

Longlines can be divided into two basic types: a) Drifting longlines that uses floats to suspend the main line to the desired depth, either surface or midwater and b) bottom longlines, which is positioned so that the mother and snoods line in contact with the seabed. Lately is common to find a specialization of this type of bottom longline called bottom longline what type vertical line, in which the main line is floating around 10 meters above the seabed to allow snoods hang vertically towards the bottom.

PALANGRE DRIFT: it is used to catch fish migrating on the sea surface or just below the surface.

Bottom longlines: This the most popular type and is used to capture a wide range of fish (benthic)

Bottom-LINE VERTICAL: This guy is a recent modification of bottom longline, and it has the advantage of being used in areas with a rocky seabed topography, It is also able to distribute a large number of hooks over a large area and capture background benthic and pelagic species.

The trawlers CRAWLING
