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.

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 ...

Addressing fisheries bycatch in a changing world
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Fisheries bycatch is a threat to species of marine megafauna across the world’s oceans. Work over the past several decades has greatly advanced our understanding of the species affected, the magnitude and the spatial extent of bycatch.

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.
