Mitigating Bycatch: Novel Insights to Multidisciplinary Approaches [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Fisheries bycatch conservation and management can be analyzed and implemented through the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy using one of four basic approaches: (1) private solutions, including voluntary, moral suasion, and intrinsic motivation; (2 ...

Switching Gillnets to Longlines: An Alternative to Mitigate the Bycatch of Franciscana Dolphins (Pontoporia blainvillei) in Argentina [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) is considered the most threatened cetacean in the South Western Atlantic due to bycatch in gillnet fisheries of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil.

Fishermen Interviews: A Cost-Effective Tool for Evaluating the Impact of Fisheries on Vulnerable Sea Turtles in Tunisia and Identifying Levers of Mitigation [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Fisheries bycatch is considered one of the main threats to sea turtles. To provide an updated assessment of the bycatch impact on loggerhead turtles in Tunisia, 483 interviews were conducted with fishermen in 19 ports along the Gulfs of Gabes and ...

A socio‐psychological approach for understanding and managing bycatch in small‐scale fisheries

People and Nature, 2023
Fisheries bycatch is the greatest threat to migratory, long‐lived marine animals. Addressing bycatch ultimately requires changing fisher behaviour, yet social and behavioural sciences are rarely applied to bycatch mitigation, with an absence of theory ...

Foraging activity of harbour porpoises around a bottom-gillnet in a coastal fishing ground, under the risk of bycatch.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Bycatch of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) by gillnets is a recognised threat to populations. To develop effective mitigation measures, understanding the mechanics of bycatch is essential.

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

Bycatch mitigation of protected and threatened species in tuna purse seine and longline fisheries

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Bycatch and mortality in fishing gear poses a conservation threat worldwide to many marine species. Resource managers and conservation scientists face challenges in identifying bycatch mitigation solutions that work for multiple taxa while maintaining ...

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.
