Bycatch in the Maldivian pole-and-line tuna fishery.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tropical tuna fisheries are among the largest worldwide, with some having significant bycatch issues. However, pole-and-line tuna fisheries are widely believed to have low bycatch rates, although these have rarely been quantified.

Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Global Ecology and ConservationSeabirds are vulnerable to bycatch in longline fisheries but for most species the impacts are largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, studies can estimate bycatch directly using observations or calculate the theoretical risk of bycatch using ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Endangered Species Research, 2015 The narrow-ridged finless porpoise Neophocaena asiaeorientalis is a coastal cetacean that is threatened by various human activities. Bycatch mortality is a particular danger to the porpoise population in Ariake Sound and Tachibana Bay, Japan. To evaluate

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.
