Bycatch and Bycatch Reduction in Recreational Shrimping [PDF]
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.

Fisheries Bycatch of Chondrichthyes
, 2017 This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge about global chondrichthyes bycatch, including how the combination of biological characteristics of these species and the impact of different fishing methods reflect their vulnerability to bycatch.

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 ...

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.

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

Why study bycatch? An introduction to the Theme Section on fisheries bycatch [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2008 Several high-profile examples of fisheries bycatch involving marine megafauna (e.g. dolphins in tuna purse-seines, albatrosses in pelagic longlines, sea turtles in shrimp trawls) have drawn attention to the unintentional capture of non-target species during fishing operations, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in bycatch research over the past 2

An investigation of factors related to the bycatch of small cetaceans in fishing gear [PDF]
, 2011 The bycatch of cetaceans in fishing gear is considered to be one of the biggest conservation threats to these species. Gear modifications have the potential to reduce these bycatches in global fisheries but there is little available information on how ...

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.

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.
