Looming-eyes buoys fail to reduce seabird bycatch in the Icelandic lumpfish fishery: depth-based fishing restrictions are an alternative

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Bycatch in gillnets from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fisheries is an important conservation issue in the north Atlantic, with up to 30 000 seabirds potentially killed each year. To date, no technical solutions exist to reduce the bycatch of seabirds in

Estimating common dolphin bycatch in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Small-scale artisanal fisheries can have a significant negative impact in cetacean populations. Cetacean bycatch has been documented in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores with common dolphins being the species more frequently taken.

Bycatch in Indian trawl fisheries and some suggestions for trawl bycatch mitigation

Current Science, 2022
Globally, trawl is the major fishing gear used in marine fisheries and in India, it contributes to more than onethird of the marine fish production. Trawl fishing has been critically evaluated from a sustainability perspective, especially analysing its bycatch composition.

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

How much do we know about seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries? A simulation study on the potential bias caused by the usually unobserved portion of seabird bycatch.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Not much is known about the fleet level total seabird bycatch from pelagic longlines of United States vessels in the western North Atlantic or other fleets of the Atlantic or other oceans.

Predicting bycatch hotspots in tropical tuna purse seine fisheries at the basin scale

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Fisheries observer programs represent the most reliable way to collect data on fisheries bycatch. However, their limited coverage leads to important data gaps that preclude bycatch mitigation at the basin scale.

Estimating Bycatch From Non-representative Samples (II): A Case Study of Pair Trawlers and Common Dolphins in the Bay of Biscay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine megafauna plays an important functional role in marine ecosystems as top predators but are threatened by a wide range of anthropogenic activities. Bycatch, the incidental capture of non-targeted species in commercial and recreational fisheries, is

Illuminating gillnets to save seabirds and the potential for multi-taxa bycatch mitigation [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Bycatch in net fisheries is recognized as a major source of mortality for many marine species, including seabirds. Few mitigation solutions, however, have been identified.
