Marine Traffic
Submitted by Bluetonic on Sun, 2020-06-28 11:14
Was looking at Marine Traffic and noticed all the fishing vessels (Shown on here in the light orangey brown colour) operating out from Perth. Anyone know what they would be fishing for? They're a long way out to sea.

Longliners
They'll be fishing outside Australia's 200Nm economic zone.
Most likely long liners targeting tuna, billfish and anything else that moves.
