It is gentle on the seabed and fishing is not very energy intensive. The line fish is of high quality and it is landed relatively evenly throughout the year. This has led to large department store chains on the continent and in England marketing hook-caught fish as environmentally friendly. Increased use of line can be a response to a number of future issues related to the market and environmentally friendly fishing. It is therefore interesting to develop knowledge that can help remove some of the barriers to increased use of line in the fisheries. In contrast to Icelandic line fishing, Norwegian line fishing is in decline. The reasons for this lie in both market differences and different regulatory policies. There are also marked differences in technology choices, where autoline is used to a much greater extent in the Icelandic coastal fleet than in the Norwegian one. At the same time, there is extensive interest in collaborating on R&D efforts aimed at line fishing from Icelandic and Norwegian environments. The interest covers most aspects of line fishing, and covers biological, technological and economic disciplines. The interest is expressed from the administration, fishermen, bait and equipment manufacturers, shipyards and the research environment in Norway and Iceland. Such an interest facilitates the development of a program aimed at improving and developing technology, fishing methods and quality. It is also desirable to increase knowledge of the market advantages of longline fishing and how various forms of catch regulation affect the operating economy of longline fishing. The preparatory work for the program is planned to be organized through this preliminary project.
