Albatrosses are endangered due to the high rate of by-catch (accidental catch by commercial fishermen) particularly with longline fishing gear in which by-catch rates can be as high as 1 bird per 10 hooks. This combined with their long life and slow maturity leads to 19 out of the 21 species being listed as endangered
