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

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 ...

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.

Use of rapid assessments of fishery bycatch of Humboldt penguins Spheniscus humboldti in Peru and Chile to help identify conservation priorities [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
The Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) is a threatened species endemic to the Humboldt current system along the coasts of Peru and Chile. The species faces numerous and significant threats contributing to its declining population among which one of ...

Examining the efficacy of a sanctuary to protect sharks in the Galapagos Marine Reserve

Conservation Science and Practice
In 2016, Ecuador established a no‐take marine sanctuary in the northern portion of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR), ostensibly to protect sharks. Arguably because of this, experimental longlining was permitted in the rest of the reserve as part of a ...

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.

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.

Bycatch Mitigation Strategies in the Gulf of Alaska

Journal of Science Policy & Governance, 2023
Commercial fishing is a crucial industry in Alaska’s economy, but unsustainable fishing practices, especially bottom trawling, lead to excessive bycatch and economic discards. This poses a major threat to marine ecosystems and their biodiversity, which puts the resources within Alaska’s fisheries at risk of diminishing to a point where they cannot meet
