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.

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 ...

Predicting the population‐level impact of mitigating harbor porpoise bycatch with pingers and time‐area fishing closures [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2017 Unintentional mortality of higher trophic‐level species in commercial fisheries (bycatch) represents a major conservation concern as it may influence the long‐term persistence of populations.

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 ...

Bycatch mitigation of protected and threatened species in tuna purse seine and longline fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Bycatch and mortality in fishing gear poses a conservation threat worldwide to many marine species. Resource managers and conservation scientists face challenges in identifying bycatch mitigation solutions that work for multiple taxa while maintaining ...

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

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.
