Shortfin mako hot sets – Defining high bycatch conditions as a basis for bycatch mitigation

Fisheries Research, 2021
Abstract Shortfin mako sharks, Isurus oxyrinchus, were listed under Appendix II of CITES in 2019 in part due to the results of the last stock assessment for the North Atlantic population, which determined the population is overfished and experiencing overfishing.

Mitigating bycatch in tuna fisheries

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2017
Monitoring and managing fisheries bycatch is increasingly recognized as a critical component of robust fisheries management frameworks. This review, addressing this subject, begins by defining bycatch and analyzing the reasons it happens, from accidental to intentional discarding. It identifies the most common species composing bycatch of the main tuna

Evaluating Success of Bycatch Mitigation Measures

2012
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Designing effective bycatch mitigation programs requires an understanding of life histories of target and non‐target species, interactions of fish and fishing gear, effects of spatial and temporal shifts in fishing effort, socioeconomic impacts to the fishery, and incentives of fishery ...

Multifaceted effects of bycatch mitigation measures on target/non-target species for pelagic longline fisheries and consideration for bycatch management

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2022
SUMMARY The pelagic longline fishery, in an effort to reduce bycatch of sea turtles, have developed and deployed fisheries bycatch mitigation techniques such as replacing J/tuna hooks and squid bait with circle hooks and whole fish bait.

Using telemetry to mitigate the bycatch of long‐lived marine vertebrates

Ecological Applications, 2009
The unintended bycatch of long‐lived marine species in fishing gear is an important global conservation issue. One suite of management approaches used to address this problem restricts or modifies fishing practices in areas where the probability of bycatch is believed to be high. Information on the distribution and behavior of the bycaught species is a

Synthesising a network of evidence on a seabird bycatch mitigation measure

Fish and Fisheries
AbstractRobust estimates of the relative efficacies of alternative management interventions are essential for developing evidence‐informed fisheries bycatch policy. Bycatch is a major threat to the conservation of albatrosses and other pelagic seabirds.

New technologies to improve bycatch mitigation in industrial tuna fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, 2021
AbstractFor many years, tremendous effort has been dedicated to developing new industrial tuna fisheries, while their adverse impacts on threatened marine species have received relatively little attention. In tuna fisheries, bycatch is the major anthropogenic threat to marine megafauna in general, particularly sharks.

Mitigation of marine mammal bycatch in U.S. fisheries since 1994

Biological Conservation, 2013
Bycatch in fishing gear is one of the most pressing conservation issues facing marine mammals today. In the United States a formal regime to address bycatch of marine mammals was adopted in 1994 as Amendments to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). This regime provides quantitative conservation goals and a transparent reporting system, allowing for

Bycatch mitigation of endangered marine life

ABSTRACT The fishing gear deployed by fishermen in seas and oceans throughout the world not only captures target species but also unintentionally ensnares non-target species, a phenomenon known as “by-catch”. This unintended capture of marine life can represent significant challenges for the fishing industry, with adverse impacts on ...
