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 ...

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 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.

Bycatch Mitigation Strategies in the Gulf of Alaska [PDF]
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

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.

Multifaceted effects of bycatch mitigation measures on target/non-target species for pelagic longline fisheries and consideration for bycatch management [PDF]
Marine and Freshwater Research, 2022 SUMMARYThe pelagic longline fishery, in an effort to reduce bycatch of sea turtles, have developed and deployed fisheries bycatch mitigation techniques such as replacing J/tuna hooks and squid bait with circle hooks and whole fish bait. However, little emphasis has been placed on the side effects of bycatch mitigation measures on endangered species ...

Determining optimal pinger spacing for harbour porpoise bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2013 A trial was conducted in the Danish North Sea hake gillnet fishery in July to September 2006 to determine whether the spacing of the Aquatec AQUAmark100 pinger could be increased without reducing the effectiveness of the pinger in mitigating harbour porpoise bycatch.

Bycatch mitigation of endangered marine life [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe fishing gear deployed by fishermen in seas and oceans throughout the world not only captures target species but also unintentionally ensnares non-target species, a phenomenon known as “by-catch”. This unintended capture of marine life can represent significant challenges for the fishing industry, with adverse impacts on both the environment
