Bycatch mitigation assessment for sharks caught in coastal anchored gillnets

Fisheries Research, 2009
Fishing with modified gillnets was conducted to elucidate their potential for reducing shark bycatch. Experimental fishing focused on two commercial fisheries, Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) and spot (Leiostomus xanthurus). The modification took the form of increasing the gillnet tension using larger floats on the head-rope and increasing ...

Compensatory mitigation as a solution to fisheries bycatch–biodiversity conservation conflicts

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2007
Globally, fisheries catch of non-target species has major environmental impacts, resulting in social conflict, litigation, and fisheries closures. We use a bio-economic approach to demonstrate that compensatory mitigation – an innovative, market-influenced approach to fishery–conservation conflicts – can facilitate high-value uses of biological ...

Reducing Bycatch in Offshore Commercial Fisheries: Stakeholder Perspectives on Mitigation Measures

Society & Natural Resources
Reducing fisheries bycatch is a global challenge, with social factors playing a significant role in the adoption of mitigation measures (MMs). This study investigates these factors within Argentina’s offshore commercial bottom trawl fleet, where research remains limited. Through a qualitative approach, 29 interviews with key stakeholders were conducted

Shark repellents: a comparison of alternative methods to mitigate bycatch

2023
Shark populations have been suffering a tremendous decrease in recent years, with many species currently threatened, mainly due to overfishing and climate change. Most fishing accounts for sharks occur when they are accidentally captured as bycatch. To mend this issue, shark repellent research has been developing over the last 70 years, however, it is ...
