  • A green sea turtle tangled in fishing line and drown. <br />
<br />

No fish, jaws, teeth or anything else were removed.

One of the leading causes of shark mortality is as bycatch in longline fisheries. The team at the CEI are looking at physiological and behavioural responses to being caught with the hopes of establishing 'best practice' guidelines for releasing sharks from long lines.
