Data recorded for each fishing trip included : effort(number of hooks), total catch(regardless of species)... and catch disposition. Catch disposition was further classified into four categories : retained, released alive, discarded dead, or lost. The lost catch refers to the proportion of total capture that becomes detached from the gear at the moment of hauling. This can be caused by operating problems(i. e. the tension of the gear, if contrary to the direction of the ship, may cause the fish to be lost if the ship does not stop in time), or if the species caught is of low commercial value, in which case the skipper will not stop the vessel... 1, record 1, English, - lost%20catch

Improvised Sled ... We have seen a few different methods of creating a rescue sled with just a few extra pieces of gear. The best method of rigging is A-frame style which requires less material to join the tips and offers more lateral rigidity, because of the triangular shape. Many alpine touring skis have holes in the tips, and sometimes in the tails. The main purpose of these holes is to facilitate easy conversion into a rescue sled. 2, record 2, English, - improvised%20rescue%20toboggan
