==== Longlining ====
{{main|Longline fishing}}
Longlining is a [[commercial fishing]] technique that uses a long heavy line with a series of hundreds or even thousands of [[Fish bait|baited]] [[Fishing hook|hooks]] hanging from the main line via branch lines called ''snoods''. Longlines are usually operated from specialised boats called ''longliners'', which use a special [[winch]] to haul in the line and can operate in deeper waters targeting [[pelagic]] species such as [[swordfish]], [[tuna]], [[halibut]] and [[sablefish]].
