Modified sorting technique to mitigate the collateral mortality of trawled school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) [PDF]
The potential for changes to onboard handling practices in order to improve the fate of juvenile school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi) discarded during trawling were investigated in two Australian rivers (Clarence and Hunter) by comparing a purpose-built,

Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

ABSTRACT In the past half‐century, fishing in one regional part of the Baltic Sea, the Stockholm Archipelago, has almost disappeared due to falling fish abundance, especially of herring (Clupea harengus). By examining published observations and archived material on historical fishing patterns, we found evidence of a remarkably continuous high level of ...

ABSTRACT Commercial fishing is often assumed to have greater impacts than recreational fishing, and many fisheries assessments overlook the latter. Yet, numerous coastal and freshwater fish populations are subject to both fishing types and environmental pressures, all influencing biomass, body size and community structure and making management outcomes

Our study investigates the environmental and astronomical drivers of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatching success at Batu Hiu Beach, Indonesia. We demonstrate that air temperature is the dominant predictor of hatching outcomes, while Earth–Moon distance exerts an additional, significant influence independent of humidity and tidal effects ...

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
