纪录片《南太平洋》 第172期 脆弱天堂（21）（在线收听）

These pole and line fishermen are Solomon Islanders,

这些用杆和线的渔民是所罗门群岛居民

and this fishing is a local industry.

这种捕渔法是当地的一种工业

They target specific species, and mature individuals.

他们针对的是特定的种群和成熟的个体

There's almost no by-catch—no sea birds, no sharks.

几乎没有任何的附带捕捉——没有海鸟 没有鲨鱼

And they can be selective, flicking juvenile fish off their hooks so they can grow and breed.

而且他们是有选择的 把鲣鱼从鱼钩上解脱 使它们能成长并繁衍

Because it's impossible to hook every last fish in a school,

因为不可能钓起鱼群中的每一条鱼

some are always left to fight another day.

总有一些能留到将来

And since the fish don't suffer for hours in nets,

而且因为鱼不被困在网中长达数小时之久

this meat is of a high quality.

肉的品质很好

These fishermen may not catch as many fish as a purse seiner,

这些渔民或许不象围网渔船能捕到那么多鱼

but then, that's the point.

但是 那才是重点
