Mitigating Bycatch: Novel Insights to Multidisciplinary Approaches [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Fisheries bycatch conservation and management can be analyzed and implemented through the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy using one of four basic approaches: (1) private solutions, including voluntary, moral suasion, and intrinsic motivation; (2 ...

Evaluating the potential effectiveness of compensatory mitigation strategies for marine bycatch. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Conservationists are continually seeking new strategies to reverse population declines and safeguard against species extinctions. Here we evaluate the potential efficacy of a recently proposed approach to offset a major anthropogenic threat to many ...

Mitigation of Elasmobranch Bycatch in Trawlers: A Case Study in Indian Fisheries [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Bycatch poses a significant threat to marine megafauna, such as elasmobranchs. India has one of the highest elasmobranch landings globally, through both targeted catch and bycatch.

Sea Turtle Bycatch Mitigation in U.S. Longline Fisheries [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004, United States (U.S.) longline vessels targeting swordfish and tunas in the

Spatial segregation and bycatch risk as potential drivers of population trends of wandering albatrosses at South Georgia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Spatial segregation in at‐sea distribution is frequently observed in seabirds and can have important implications for conservation and management. Globally, many albatross and petrel populations are declining due to bycatch in fisheries. In South Georgia, the decrease in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) differs among breeding sites ...

Key drivers of at-vessel mortality in demersal sharks. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Chondrichthyans are highly vulnerable to fisheries overexploitation, and postcapture mortality poses a significant threat to most species. Global bycatch mitigation guidelines recommend adopting hierarchical decision‐making approaches tailored to species‐specific vulnerabilities and socioeconomic and regulatory contexts.

A socio‐psychological approach for understanding and managing bycatch in small‐scale fisheries

People and Nature, 2023
Fisheries bycatch is the greatest threat to migratory, long‐lived marine animals. Addressing bycatch ultimately requires changing fisher behaviour, yet social and behavioural sciences are rarely applied to bycatch mitigation, with an absence of theory ...

Bycatch in Indian trawl fisheries and some suggestions for trawl bycatch mitigation

Current Science, 2022
Globally, trawl is the major fishing gear used in marine fisheries and in India, it contributes to more than onethird of the marine fish production. Trawl fishing has been critically evaluated from a sustainability perspective, especially analysing its bycatch composition.

International community’s efforts to mitigate sea turtle bycatch and status of implementing relevant measures by Korean tuna longline fishery

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
Longline fishery targeting tunas and tuna-like species is known to produce a significant amount of catch not only for the target species, but also for ecologically related species like sharks, marine turtles, sea birds and marine mammals.

Evidence for a fisher-designed solution to manta and devil ray bycatch in tuna fisheries. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Bycatch in global tropical tuna purse seine fisheries represents a significant source of mortality for manta and devil rays (mobulids), which are globally threatened. Use of best handling and rapid release practices on purse seine vessels can substantially reduce mortality and improve vulnerability status for mobulids.
