Bycatch in Cetaceans from the North-Western Mediterranean Sea: Retrospective Study of Lesions and Utility of Bycatch Criteria [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesBycatch is the most common cause of death of small delphinids worldwide, including the Mediterranean Sea. The diagnosis of bycatch as cause of death in stranded cetaceans depends on the cumulative presence of multiple findings, termed bycatch criteria ...

Climate driven spatiotemporal variations in seabird bycatch hotspots and implications for seabird bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Bycatch in fisheries is a major threat to many seabird species. Understanding and predicting spatiotemporal changes in seabird bycatch from fisheries might be the key to mitigation.

A global meta-analysis of gillnet bycatch of toothed whales: Mitigation measures and research gaps [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Odontocetes are globally distributed and are foundational to the structure and function of marine food webs, and hence bycatch impacts from gillnet fishing need to be considered in the context of their conservation and population viability ...

Age and lunar cycle predict harbor porpoise bycatch in the south-western Baltic Sea [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, is the only cetacean regularly occurring in the Baltic Sea. During the last decades, several anthropogenic activities have affected porpoises in the Baltic region.

Best Practices for Assessing and Managing Bycatch of Marine Mammals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Bycatch in marine fisheries is the leading source of human-caused mortality for marine mammals, has contributed to substantial declines of many marine mammal populations and species, and the extinction of at least one.

A socio‐psychological approach for understanding and managing bycatch in small‐scale fisheries
People and Nature, 2023 Fisheries bycatch is the greatest threat to migratory, long‐lived marine animals. Addressing bycatch ultimately requires changing fisher behaviour, yet social and behavioural sciences are rarely applied to bycatch mitigation, with an absence of theory ...
