A scheme to help deep-sea fish to hook themselves on anglers’ lines has been prepared by William Teak, a well-known naturalist and undersea explorer, who claims that one difficulty in catching deepsea fish is that the darkness of the depths prevents the fish from observing the hooks put down for them to bite. Mr. Teak proposes to use radium-pointed hooks, which will be visible tp the quarry in the darkest depths of the Atlantic near Bermuda, where the ocean is said to be deeper than anywhere else in the world.
