Record 1 2022-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

Two different methods of operating have led to modifications in gear resulting in two types of long lines : drift and set lines. As opposed to drifting, a piece of fishing gear is considered set when it is anchored or attached to the bottom or shore so that it is not free to move about with water or wind currents. By contrast, a drift line... has no such attachment to the bottom or shore and is therefore free to drift or move with any currents.

OBS

drift line; drifting line: designations usually used in the plural.

Record 3 2004-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusks, Echinoderms and Prochordates
DEF

A rope system that is anchored to the bottom and maintained afloat by buoys to support culture gear or lines on which scallops are grown by ear hanging.

CONT

In a longline system a length of line is anchored at both ends, flotation is attached and various types of culture systems are hung on the line. These include lantern net, pearl net or ear-hanging of scallops, grow-out of mussels, nursery rearing of clams and oysters, and grow-out systems for oysters involving tubes, trays, bags or string cultch.

OBS

The terms "main line" and "mainline" are considerably less common than the term "longline" and its almost as common spelling variant "long line". They oppose the notion of "branch line".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusques, échinodermes et procordés
DEF

Installation constituée de cordages qui est ancrée sur le fond et maintenue en suspension par des bouées afin de supporter les structures d'élevage ou les lignes de pétoncles montées selon la technique à boucle d'oreille.

CONT

La structure de base (qu'on appelle filière) permettant la suspension des diverses unités de captage, de pré-élevage et d'élevage est constituée de cordages, de bouées et de différents poids assurant la stabilité de l'ensemble. La structure servant au captage mesure 300 mètres de longueur est peut recevoir 100 unités verticales comprenant chacune 10 collecteurs, à raison d'une unité à tous les trois mètres.

OBS

Le terme «longue ligne» semble être un calque inutile de l'anglais. Il est préférable d'utiliser le terme généralement accepté en français «filière».
