Fish hook. In use, the hook is covered with bait to attract fish
Fish hook. In use, the hook is covered with bait to attract fish. When a fish eats the bait, it also swallows the hook, which is barbed to prevent it leaving the fish once swallowed. The fish can then be pulled in towards the fisherman. Although a slow and laborious process, hook and line fish- ing does not have the same environmental impact as indiscriminate net fishing, which kills many unwa- nted species of fish, marine mammals and reptiles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate design and functionality of a fish hook. The image captures the essence of fishing, highlighting the age-old technique used by fishermen to lure their catch. In this close-up shot, we see a fish hook in action, covered with bait to entice unsuspecting fish. Once a curious fish takes the bait and swallows it, they also inadvertently swallow the barbed hook. This clever mechanism ensures that once caught, there is no escape for the fish. The photograph beautifully illustrates how this traditional method allows fishermen to reel in their prize slowly but surely. Unlike indiscriminate net fishing methods that harm various marine species unintentionally, using hooks and lines minimizes environmental impact. The significance of this image extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a reminder of responsible fishing practices within an industry often plagued by overfishing and unsustainable techniques. By showcasing this simple yet effective tool employed by fishermen worldwide, we are encouraged to appreciate both its practicality and its role in preserving our delicate aquatic ecosystems. As we admire this stunning visual representation of fishing's essential tool - the humble fish hook - let us reflect on our responsibility towards sustainable practices that protect not only our desired catch but also safeguard countless other species beneath the surface of our oceans.
