Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Fisheries bycatch represents a major anthropogenic threat to marine megafauna worldwide. To identify populations at risk, it is essential to estimate the total number of individuals removed from a population as bycatch.

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 ...

Advances in Scale Assessment of Seabird Bycatch: A New Methodological Framework
Diversity, 2023 This paper presents a methodology for indirectly estimating the scale of seabird bycatch using existing data. The study focuses on five key species of ducks that winter in the Polish waters of the Baltic Sea and are highly susceptible to bycatch: Long ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Global fisheries kill millions of seabirds annually through bycatch, but little is known about population‐level impacts, particularly in species that form metapopulations. U.S.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Time-area closures are a valuable tool for mitigating fisheries bycatch. There is increasing recognition that dynamic closures, which have boundaries that vary across space and time, can be more effective than static closures at protecting mobile species

Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011
Endangered Species Research, 2013 Since the 1970s the role of fishery bycatch as a factor reducing, or limiting the recovery of, marine mammal populations has been increasingly recognized.

Endangered Species Research, 2023 Incidental bycatch of sea turtles from recreational fisheries is generally undocumented globally. At Gulf of Mexico fishing piers in the USA, bycatch is a source of injury and potential mortality of sea turtles.

Bycatch and Bycatch Reduction in Recreational Shrimping
Northeast Gulf Science, 1994 We estimated the bycatch from recreational shrimping by quantifying the catch from fishery independent trawling and through a survey of licensed recreational shrimpers in Alabama during 1990. We used paired trawls to test two net modifications (fish shooter and Florida flsheye) for bycatch reduction.

Catch, bycatch and discards of the Galapagos Marine Reserve small-scale handline fishery [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Fisheries bycatch is a significant marine conservation issue as valuable fish are wasted and protected species harmed with potential negative ecological and socio-economic consequences.

Bycatch and discard survival rate in a small-scale bivalve dredge fishery along the Algarve coast (southern Portugal) [PDF]
, 2018 Although the bivalve dredge used on the Algarve coast (southern Portugal) is highly selective for the target species, in some periods of the year the bycatch can exceed the catch of the commercial species. The present study aimed to quantify the bycatch
