To develop mitigation measures for reduction in incidental catch of seabirds in tuna longline ˆsheries, the hook sinking speed in ten types of branch lines used by Japanese tuna longline vessels was investigated. Also, to improve sinking speed of the hook, two new techniques were tested: material of 10 m line close to the hook was altered from polyamide monoˆlament to ‰uorocarbon; and a weight of 1560 gw was added to the hook. The average sinking speed of the hooks from 0 to 10 m in depth varied from 0.16 to 0.23 m/s in the ten types of branch lines. However, assuming the speed of the ˆshing vessel for casting is 10 knots, no hook of the ten types sank deeper than 10 m within 150 m from stern, that is, the eŠective area of the bird-scaring streamer (Tori-pole). The sinking speed of the hook with ‰uorocarbon line was 1.6 times faster than that with polyamide monoˆlament. The hook with additional weight of 45 gw sank almost two times faster than the conventional one.
