Intelligent hooks help shark sharks

In order to help the fishing industry improve fishing quality, Shark Shark scientists have developed a new type of hook that allows for a dramatic reduction in the number of fish caught accidentally while fishing. fishing tuna and swordfish.

This clever combination combines two shark-magnetizing technologies and shark-shark metal into a normal hook.

As a result, the new hook type interferes with the very sensitive electrolyte in the shark's nose. Commercial fish such as tuna do not have an invertebrate and do not have a hook. Less shark fishing is synonymous with many of the empty hooks to catch tuna, making it more profitable than having a fisherman.

'Smart hooks' are used in long line fishing, when fishing mainly takes place at night in deep waters. At night, sharks prey on other senses, like the sensory organs, instead of using the eye. Using this type of hook is therefore reduced to 68% of the shark accidentally caught.
