(ii) It is generally recognised as best practice to maximise the aerial extent of the streamer line, because this maximises the
area in which the baited hooks are protected from seabirds. Best practice would be to achieve an aerial extent of 100
metres. In order to maximise aerial extent, it is necessary to create tension in the streamer line. This can be achieved
by:
● towing an object on the terminal end of the streamer line; or
● towing extra length of streamer line; or
● increasing the diameter of the in-water section of the streamer line.

(iii) In order to be effective at scaring seabirds away from the line of baited hooks, the streamer lines should not become
tangled, either with each other or with the branchline. Each streamer shall be attached to the streamer line in a manner
to prevent fouling of individual streamers with the streamer line, and to ensure individual streamers reach the waterline
in the absence of wind or swell. Swivels or a similar device can be placed in the streamer line in such a way as to
prevent streamers being twisted around the streamer line. Each streamer may also have a swivel or other device at its
attachment point to the streamer line to prevent fouling of individual streamers.

(iv) Streamers are to be spaced at 5-metre intervals along the aerial extent of the line. The total number of streamers in use
will vary depending on how the line is configured. Streamers that are hanging in the water can be prone to tangling.
Because the far end of the streamer line will frequently be in the water, fishers may not wish to have streamers the
whole way down the line. However, it is important that streamers are present to deter birds from taking baited hooks all
along the part of the line that remains above water, as outlined in the specifications.

(v) To ensure streamers are visible to birds, they should stand out against the surroundings. Streamers should be made of
brightly coloured fluorescent plastic tubing or other material. Bright colours such as red, yellow, orange or pink are
most effective during day setting. For night setting, the streamers should be of a colour that contrasts with the
surroundings. Colours such as blue and green are less likely to be effective, because they are less likely to be highly
visible to birds.

(vi) In order to comply with the regulations, a seabird scaring device (streamer line) must be used when setting surface
longlines. If the streamer line that is in use breaks or is damaged, it must be repaired or replaced so that it meets these
specifications before any further hooks enter the water. For this reason, a complete additional streamer line should be
carried as a spare.
