Bushmeat and bycatch: the sum of the parts [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2007 AbstractIn many developing countries, the killing of wild animals for commercial purposes (the bushmeat trade) is a significant factor in the reduction of biodiversity, and probably represents a major threat to the survival of many more populations than we know. This includes marine species such as cetaceans, sea turtles and sirenians (‘marine bushmeat’

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.

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.

Knowing the fishery to know the bycatch: bias-corrected estimates of harbour porpoise bycatch in gillnet fisheries [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Incidental captures (bycatch) remain a key global conservation threat for cetaceans. Bycatch of harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena in set gillnets is routinely monitored in European Union fisheries, but generally relies on data collected at low spatio-temporal resolution or over short periods.

Estimating the impact of bycatch and calculating bycatch limits to achieve conservation objectives as applied to harbour porpoise in the North Sea [PDF]
, 2009 Incidental catch, or bycatch, of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in fishing operations is an international conservation issue. The main objective of this thesis was to develop methods for determining the impact of bycatch on the state and dynamics ...

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.

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.

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.

Birds, 2022 Each year, billions of seabirds undertake migrations, connecting remote regions of the world, potentially synchronizing population fluctuations among distant areas. This connectedness has implications for the uncertainty calculations of the total seabird
