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

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.

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

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 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 ...

Mitigating Bycatch: Insights from Key Stakeholders in Commercial Fisheries

Bycatch in commercial fisheries remains a significant environmental issue, with global implications for biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Despite various mitigation measures available, their adoption by fisheries in Argentina is inconsistent. This study examines the social factors influencing the implementation of bycatch mitigation measures within

Predicted harbor porpoise bycatch under potential mitigation measure scenarios

2008
During the Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Team (HPTRP) meeting in December 2007, questions were raised concerning what the predicted harbor porpoise bycatch would have been in 2005 and 2006 if: (a) the current Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Plan (HPTRP) was followed (Scenario I); (b) if, in addition, pingers had been used in the entire Northeast ...
