Survivorship of species caught in a longline tuna fishery in the western equatorial Atlantic Ocean

ABSTRACT Longlines bearing “hook timers” (HTs) and alternating circle (15/0 and 17/0) and “J” (10/0) hooks were employed off the coast of Brazil to measure differences in fishing mortality associated with hook type and on-hook time between capture and boarding...
