A machine learning approach for protected species bycatch estimation

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionMonitoring bycatch of protected species is a fisheries management priority. In practice, protected species bycatch is difficult to precisely or accurately estimate with commonly used ratio estimators or parametric, linear model-based methods.

Pooled and Individual Bycatch Quotas: Exploring Tradeoffs Between Observer Coverage Levels, Bycatch Frequency, Pool Size, and the Precision of Bycatch Estimates

, 2000
The North Pacific Ocean is highly productive, hosting many of the world's largest groundfish populations and supporting a thriving fishing industry. Numerous regulations have been implemented to control the incidental take of non-target bycatch. Individual and Pooled Bycatch Quotas have recently been proposed as instruments that could further encourage

Skimmers: Their Development and Use in Coastal Louisiana [PDF]

, 1995
The origin, development, and utilization of the skimmer net is reviewed along with other historical shrimp gears used in coastal Louisiana. The skimmer was developed to catch white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus, observed jumping over the cork line (headrope)

From Natural to Human‐Dominated Seascapes: Habitat Loss for Guiana Dolphins Over Two Decades

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in natural environments, such as coastal and marine zones, caused by human activities impact the quality of habitats and their inhabitants, ultimately jeopardising species conservation. As human activity is ever‐increasing, it is imperative to understand how multiple stressors, such as shipping, fisheries and pollution, affect marine ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Composition and distribution of Lutjanus johnii and other species using wire traps in the waters of Rigaih, Aceh Jaya Regency

Depik Jurnal
The catch results show that wire traps are an effective and selective fishing gear for Lutjanus johnii, with a total catch of 244.1 kg. The bycatch, consisting of 10 species, amounted to 208.1 kg, also caught using wire traps in the waters of Rigaih ...

Bycatch in marine fisheries

, 2012
A review of the significant contributions in the peer-reviewed literature indicates that the discarding of marine fish known as bycatch remains one of the most significant problem facing fisheries managers. Bycatch has negative affects on marine biodiversity, is ripe with ethical and moral issues surrounding the waste of life from increased juvenile ...

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4488-4498, May 2026.
We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

Morphometric characteristics of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and finfish bycatch in the krill fishery in the waters of South Orkney Islands during the 2022/23 fishing season

Frontiers in Marine Science
Determination of bar spacing of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) should consider species composition and morphometric characteristics (particularly width) of target species krill and bycatch. This study conducted a scientific investigation of the finfish

Evaluating the quality of bycatch data and bycatch estimates among disparate fisheries

, 2012
In 2006, the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, initiated development of a national bycatch report that would provide bycatch estimates for U.S. commercial fisheries at the fishery and species levels for fishes, marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds.
