A multiscale seasonal examination of the risk of harm to seabirds from vessels based on co-occurrence in Alaskan waters. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Alaska's seascape supports globally significant seabird populations, including vulnerable and threatened species, and hosts economically important commercial fisheries and marine transportation corridors. Seasonal patterns of seabird movements and vessel traffic create a complex landscape of risk, defined as high levels of co‐occurrence ...

Migrations and habitat use of the smooth hammerhead shark (Sphyrna zygaena) in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2018
The smooth hammerhead shark, Sphyrna zygaena, is a cosmopolitan semipelagic shark captured as bycatch in pelagic oceanic fisheries, especially pelagic longlines targeting swordfish and/or tunas.

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.

Cetacean bycatch management in regional fisheries management organizations: Current progress, gaps, and looking ahead

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Bycatch is the leading global threat to cetaceans, with at least 300,000 cetaceans estimated to be killed each year in fisheries. Regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) are key actors in global fisheries management, including bycatch ...

Tori lines mitigate seabird bycatch in a pelagic longline fishery [PDF]

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2021
Albatross bycatch has been increasing over the past decade in the US tuna longline fishery of the central North Pacific. A controlled field experiment was used to assess the efficacy of bird scaring or tori lines as a seabird bycatch mitigation measure for this fishery in a 3-factor sampling design with other mitigation methods (blue-dyed bait, offal ...

Integrating fishers’ knowledge contributions in Marine Science to tackle bycatch in the Bay of Biscay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The issue of bycatch is raising considerable political, mediatic and scientific attention. Bycatch is one of the main causes of at-sea mortality for small cetacean species and for seabirds. Scientists are raising alerts regarding the potential effects on

Hookpod-mini: a smaller potential solution to mitigate seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries

Endangered Species Research, 2019
Hookpods are an emerging technology designed to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries. Hookpod-minis were trialled in the New Zealand surface longline fishery in 2016-2017 during short-term experimental (20 longline sets) and longer-term ...

Influence of nearby environment on recreational bycatch of sea turtles at fishing piers in the eastern Gulf of Mexico

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Incidental bycatch of sea turtles from recreational fisheries is generally undocumented globally. At Gulf of Mexico fishing piers in the USA, bycatch is a source of injury and potential mortality of sea turtles.

Spatial and temporal variations in seabird bycatch: Incidental bycatch in the Norwegian coastal gillnet-fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The general decline of seabird populations worldwide raises large concerns. Although multiple factors are interacting to cause the observed trends, increased mortality from incidental bycatch in fisheries has proven to be important for many species ...
