Use of High-tech fishing hooks and technology could help save critically endangered marine wildlife and also provide a better fishing experience.
We are noticing a decline in the population of different species around the world as a result of commercial activities by humans. Giant and majestic creatures like sharks are no exception. An estimated 100 million sharks of all kinds are killed each year by humans - either by hunters for shark-fin soup or fishermen who accidentally trap them in their nets. Researchers have found a pioneering and cost-effective strategy to keep the untended shark catch out of fishing traps with high-tech magnetic fish hooks.
