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 ...

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.

Mitigating Bycatch: Novel Insights to Multidisciplinary Approaches

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 ...

Foraging activity of harbour porpoises around a bottom-gillnet in a coastal fishing ground, under the risk of bycatch.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Bycatch of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) by gillnets is a recognised threat to populations. To develop effective mitigation measures, understanding the mechanics of bycatch is essential.

Estimating Bycatch From Non-representative Samples (II): A Case Study of Pair Trawlers and Common Dolphins in the Bay of Biscay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine megafauna plays an important functional role in marine ecosystems as top predators but are threatened by a wide range of anthropogenic activities. Bycatch, the incidental capture of non-targeted species in commercial and recreational fisheries, is

Predicting bycatch hotspots in tropical tuna purse seine fisheries at the basin scale

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Fisheries observer programs represent the most reliable way to collect data on fisheries bycatch. However, their limited coverage leads to important data gaps that preclude bycatch mitigation at the basin scale.

Acoustic deterrence to facilitate the conservation of pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) in the Western Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Commercial fishing constitutes an important food source but induces undesirable bycatch on animals worldwide. This study extends bycatch research geographically to the Western Pacific Ocean, filling a knowledge gap regarding bycatch and mitigation ...

An investigation of factors related to the bycatch of small cetaceans in fishing gear [PDF]

, 2011
The bycatch of cetaceans in fishing gear is considered to be one of the biggest conservation threats to these species. Gear modifications have the potential to reduce these bycatches in global fisheries but there is little available information on how ...

Best Practices for Assessing and Managing Bycatch of Marine Mammals

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Bycatch in marine fisheries is the leading source of human-caused mortality for marine mammals, has contributed to substantial declines of many marine mammal populations and species, and the extinction of at least one.

Addressing fisheries bycatch in a changing world

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Fisheries bycatch is a threat to species of marine megafauna across the world’s oceans. Work over the past several decades has greatly advanced our understanding of the species affected, the magnitude and the spatial extent of bycatch.
