CA 2594056

An apparatus for reducing by-catch of seabirds or turtles during fishing include a fish hook (220) and a barrier or shield (227) mounted in a position relative to the fish hook (220) such that the barrier (227) reduces or prevents hooking of a seabird or turtle by the fish hook or ingestion of the hook by a seabird or turtle. The apparatus includes a degradable component (226) that degrades when placed in water such that when the degradable component degrades the barrier moves away from the position relative to the fish hook or no longer exists to allow the fish hook to be taken by a fish. The degradable component (226) may be a retaining means or a mounting means. The degradable component may form part of, or all of, the barrier.

Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil permettant de réduire la prise d~oiseaux marins ou de tortues au cours de la pêche ; cet appareil comprend un hameçon (220) et une sorte de barrière ou de bouclier (227) placé dans une position par rapport au hameçon (220) telle que la barrière (227) réduit ou empêche l~accrochage d~oiseaux marins ou de tortues par le hameçon ou l~ingestion du hameçon par un oiseau ou une tortue. L~appareil comprend un composant dégradable (226) qui se dégrade dans l~eau de sorte que, lorsque ledit composant se dégrade, la barrière se sépare du hameçon ou bien disparaît pour que le hameçon puisse être attrapé par un poisson. Le composant dégradable (226) peut être un moyen de maintien ou bien de support. Il peut constituer une partie ou l~ensemble de la barrière.
