Improving bycatch mitigation measures for marine megafauna in Zanzibar, Tanzania [PDF]

Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2019
This study was conducted to explore the governance processes and socio-economic factors relevant to the potential implementation of bycatch mitigation for various vulnerable marine megafauna (rays, sharks, marine mammals and turtles) in Zanzibar, Tanzania.

Mitigating bycatch and depredation of marine mammals in longline fisheries [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2015
AbstractDemersal and pelagic longline fisheries involve frequent and geographically widespread interactions with many individuals, populations, and species of marine mammals. Animals sometimes suffer mortality and serious injury following these interactions, attracted mainly to longlines as a source of food.

Synthesising a network of evidence on a seabird bycatch mitigation measure [PDF]

Fish and Fisheries
AbstractRobust estimates of the relative efficacies of alternative management interventions are essential for developing evidence‐informed fisheries bycatch policy. Bycatch is a major threat to the conservation of albatrosses and other pelagic seabirds.

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 ...

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.

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.

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
