Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Recovery of Four Commercial Fish Stocks in Lake IJsselmeer (The Netherlands) After Major Fishery Management Interventions

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable management of inland fisheries presents major challenges because it often involves complex and open access systems. Lake IJsselmeer is among the largest freshwater lakes in western Europe and supports active commercial fisheries.

Estimating Total Post‐Release Mortality in a Boat‐Based Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catch‐and‐release angling is widespread in marine recreational fisheries resulting from the implementation of enforced minimum legal sizes and increasing uptake of voluntary release. This makes recreational fisheries selective, with high release rates in certain cases.

Questionnaire surveys to investigate marine mammal fisheries bycatch: systematic review and best practice

Frontiers in Marine Science
Bycatch is the most significant threat to marine mammals globally. There are increasing requirements for national governments to fulfil their obligations to international agreements and treaties to assess fisheries catch and bycatch of non-target species.

Counter‐factual simulation highlights requirements for additional management to avert extinction of a relict Tītī/Sooty Shearwater population

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds play key ecological roles but face increasing threats worldwide. Among them, Tītī (Sooty Shearwater) Ardenna grisea are among the most abundant and culturally significant species in the Southern Hemisphere but are also threatened. Kapiti Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), holds a Tītī colony which, despite eradication of non‐native mammalian ...

Sustainable Fisheries Management and the Welfare of Bycaught and Entangled Cetaceans

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
The incidental capture of cetaceans and other protected marine wildlife in fishing gear has significant welfare implications. Many thousands of cetaceans are bycaught in fishing gear in European waters and hundreds of thousands die globally.

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck

Ibis, EarlyView.
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.
