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.

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
SUMMARYThe 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. However, little emphasis has been placed on the side effects of bycatch mitigation measures on endangered species ...

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

Bycatch mitigation of endangered marine life

ABSTRACTThe 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 both the environment

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 ...

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

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 ...
