Antonia: A First Class stamp http://zoombait.com/z-hog/ Alesse Tablets Their eventual withdrawal in favour of what became known as ‘dolphin friendly’ methods involved fishing fleets switching to a system of ‘longlines’. Paid out from trawlers for anything up to 62 miles, the longlines bear at short intervals secondary lines carrying hooks baited with fish or squid. As these hooks enter the water many seabirds, particularly petrels and albatrosses, attend the operations in hope of a free meal. Despite our common image of them as free-spirited nomads of the deep, they are also inveterate scavengers. The reason they featured so routinely in the early mariners’ diet was the ease with which they could be caught with hook and line, rather like massive winged fish.
