there are different types of commercial swordfish boats. 1-longline, like in the movie <the perfect storm> 2- drift net.instead of miles and miles of hooks that catch all hungry marine animals like long line drift net is only 1 mile long 30 fathom deep curtain of death for any unsuspecting sea creature to get tangled into looks like boat #1.and lastly the harpoon swordfish boat usually much smaller than #s 1&2 it has a tall tower for spotting the fish and a long [ 15-20 foot] pulpit off the bow for harpooning this U.S. fishery is 100% no by-catch and no undersized catch...........
