Description:

The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the movements of the buoy line in the water at vrious tidal stages, current strengths, lengthes of line, and water depth, 2) if lead-core rope was a better alternative to nylon rope, 3) and if the manner of deployment of the gear affected the suspension of the line in the water and on the bottom.
