Streamer lines are long lines attached to a high point on the stern of a fishing boat so that they fall slowly to the surface of the water. On the 25 m or so of the lines, multiple "streamers" are attached: strands of often brightly coloured line attached on a swivel to the main line. These move in the wind and interfere with birds attempting to reach the baited longline below. 2, record 1, English, - streamer

Une ligne de banderoles [...] se définit comme une ligne avec des banderoles, remorquée depuis un point haut proche de l'arrière du bateau lorsque les hameçons sont déployés. La tension sur la ligne crée une section aérienne avec des banderoles suspendues à intervalles réguliers lorsque le navire est en mouvement. La section aérienne des banderoles est essentielle pour effrayer les oiseaux afin de les éloigner des hameçons garnis d’appâts : un objet peut être remorqué afin de créer une tension supplémentaire et maximiser ainsi l'étendue aérienne. L'objectif est d’ainsi maintenir la ligne de banderoles au-delà des hameçons garnis d’appâts afin d’éviter que les oiseaux ne viennent attaquer les appâts et se fassent prendre par les hameçons. 1, record 1, French, - banderole%20d%27effarouchement

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 3 OBS
The terms "drip", "trickle" and "spray" irrigation, common in many quarters in the last 15 years, have been supplanted by the term "micro irrigation", recently adopted by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Micro irrigation includes all methods of frequent water application, in small flow rates, on or below the soil surface. Ideally, the volume of water is applied directly to the root zone in quantities that approach the consumptive use of the plants. 7, record 6, English, - micro%2Dirrigation

Unfortunately, some lenses will distort the projection, rendering it difficult to analyze.

Un objectif peut avoir différents types de distorsions. Les plus communs sont le barillet et le coussinet. Le barillet se produit quand les bords de l'image sont bombées vers l'extérieur, donnant l'impression que l'image a été tendue sur une surface sphérique. Le coussinet est plus rare et donne l'impression inverse. Le barillet est assez commun dans les objectifs grands-angulaires et peut être particulièrement prononcé lorsque le sujet est très proche de l'objectif. 3, record 7, French, - coussinet
