Guidelines for Evaluating Artificial Light to Mitigate Unwanted Fisheries Bycatch

Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture
Evaluating artificial light as a bycatch reduction device (bycatch reduction light, ``BRL ) requires a multidisciplinary approach that applies knowledge of fisheries science, fishing technology, engineering, physics, optics, vision biology, oceanography, animal behavior, economics, and social science.
