A topic of increasing relevance to the conservation of marine life is bycatch—fish and other animals that are unintentionally caught in the process of fishing for a targeted population of fish. Bycatch is a common occurrence in longline fishing, which utilizes a long heavy fishing line with baited hooks placed at intervals, and in trawling, which utilizes a fishing net (trawl) that is dragged along the ocean floor or through the mid-ocean waters. Few fisheries employ gear that can catch one species to the exclusion of all others. Dolphins, whales, and turtles are frequently captured in nets set for tunas and billfishes, and seabirds and turtles are caught in longline sets. Because bycatch often goes unreported, it is difficult to accurately estimate its extent. Available data indicate that discarded biomass (organic matter from living things) amounts to 25–30 percent of official catch, or about 30 mi","cbCaioRKQCO0DQGs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioRKQCO0DQGs","pdf",1131055,75,"English","# General Test Information\n# Reading Section Directions\n# Reading Practice Set 1\n## Examining the Problem of Bycatch","[{\"question\":\"Does this TOEFL iBT Free Practice Test provide scores or save answers?\",\"answer\":\"No. Responses are not scored and answers are not saved.\"},{\"question\":\"How should you use the answer key in the practice test?\",\"answer\":\"You can review the correct answer for each question by consulting the answer key at the end of each section.\"},{\"question\":\"What is Reading Practice Set 1 mainly about?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the problem of bycatch, explaining how unintended capture happens in fishing and why it is difficult to measure and resolve.\"}]","TOEFL iBT Free Practice Test - Reading Practice Set 1 - Examining the Problem of Bycatch | PDF",1790654990,189]
