Best practices for mitigating seabird bycatch on Taiwanese albacore longline fishing vessels operating in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean

Global Ecology and Conservation
Seabird bycatch—particularly involving albatrosses and petrels—remains a significant conservation concern in pelagic longline fisheries. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three mitigation measures—bird-scaring lines (BSLs), weighted branch lines,

Fatal Hemorrhagic Septicemia in Common Guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos) Caused by Photobacterium damselae Subsp. damselae in a Controlled Environment

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are commonly housed in public aquariums due to their ecological significance and educational value. The common guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos), currently listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ by the IUCN, is particularly susceptible to population declines due to overfishing and bycatch.

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Assessing the Effects of Banana Pingers as a Bycatch Mitigation Device for Harbour Porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Bycatch is a significant cause of population declines of marine megafauna globally. While numerous bycatch mitigation strategies exist, acoustic alarms, or pingers, are the most widely adopted strategy for small cetaceans.

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 160-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

Bycatch of marine mammals and seabirds: Occurrence and mitigation

, 2021
Gillnet fisheries are generally considered environment-friendly, causing limited bottom-impact and generating high-quality fish. Nevertheless, gillnets are also associated with high risks of bycatch of non-target animals, including seabirds and marine mammals. To fulfil Denmark’s obligations with regards to European legislations and other international

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 227-247, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.
