It is a fishing gear consisting of a long mainline with numerous branch lines, each carrying a baited hook.
Longline
True or False
A commercial fisher may render community service instead of paying the administrative penalty imposed for a fisheries violation
False
It is the major fishing ground (sea) located in central Philippines, particularly important for small pelagic fisheries and other commercially important fishery resources.
Visayan Sea
