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.

Mitigating Seafood Waste Through a Bycatch Donation Program [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Discarding of prohibited, under-sized, or non-target finfish is a major problem globally. Many such unwanted or banned catches do not survive long enough to be released alive, creating complex ecological and policy issues for the fishing industry. In U.S.

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

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 ...

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

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.

Bycatch and discards: from improved knowledge to mitigation programmes [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2014
Abstract Discarding is considered by many as an important problem in world fisheries. In many regions, data collection onboard commercial vessels has intensified, and the understanding of both human and ecological drivers of discards is improving quickly.

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 ...

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.
