  • Introduction

    Introduction

    CHAPTER 1: Basic information and techniques INTRODUCTION Fish aggregating devices, or FADs, are floating rafts or buoys anchored in deep water which, for reasons not yet fully understood, cause tuna and other types of oceanic fish to gather around them. FADs were first introduced into Pacific Island countries and territories in the late 1970s, and are likely to be a continuing feature of fisheries development in the region. The introduction and growing use of FADs have opened up new fishing opportunities for the region’s fishermen, but in many cases these have not yet been taken full advantage of. Fishermen are often unaware of the potential yields that can be generated by fishing around FADs, and may not know of suitable fishing techniques or have access to the right gear and equipment. SPC Masterfishermen working on fisheries development projects in the region were some of the first to begin adapting fishing gear and principles to the special conditions of FADs in order to help small-scale fishermen benefit from this new resource. Combining the principles of traditional mid-water tuna handlining and industrial tuna longlining, they began to experiment with multi-hook mainlines set around FADs. These ‘vertical longlines’ were fished directly from the boat, tied off to the FAD, or allowed to drift free suspended from floats or buoys. This gear arrangement simultaneously got numerous baits into the water, focussed the fishing effort close to the FAD, and allowed fishing over a range of depths. Gear used in the early SPC trials was bulky, with mainlines usually being rigged from the 6 or 7 mm tarred Kuralon rope used by large-scale longliners.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE EXTENSION SERVICE December, 1922 Extension Circular 700 THE USE OF ROPE ON THE FARM By VIRGIL OVERHOLT The Ohio State University Agricultural College Extension Service At some time, almost every one has had occasion to regret his lack of knowledge about tying knots. THE USE OF ROPE ON THE FARl\1 By VIRGIL OVERHOLT Ohio State Utt1iversity VERY farmer finds many occasions for using rope. Therefore, E time spent in learning to tie a few of the simple knots, to make some common hitches, that are reliable under strain but are easy to untie, or to make a strong splice yet small enough to pass thru a common pulley, will never be r egretted. More time is frequently wasted in trying to untie a knot •than would be r equired to learn how to tie it properly. If the hay rope breaks at a critical moment, the ability to splice it may mean the saving of much time and several dollars. The correct knot will enable the grain binder to change from one ball to an­ other without entangling and breaking the twine. Such delays are not only a loss of valuable time, but a source of great annoyance. Animllls have been strangled to death, because they were improperly tied and even human lives often have been endanger ed by ropes insecurely fastened. This bulletin is published for the instruction of farmers and students desiring to learn a few of the practical uses to which rope is put on the farm. It is 11ot a complete hand book on rope.
