Estimating common dolphin bycatch in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Small-scale artisanal fisheries can have a significant negative impact in cetacean populations. Cetacean bycatch has been documented in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores with common dolphins being the species more frequently taken.

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.

Slow sink rate in floated-demersal longline and implications for seabird bycatch risk.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Bycatch of birds in longline fisheries is a global conservation issue, with between 160,000-320,000 seabirds killed each year, primarily through being caught and drowned as they attempt to snatch baits off hooks as they are set.

To ping or not to ping : the use of active acoustic devices in mitigating interactions between small cetaceans and gillnet fisheries [PDF]

, 2013
Active sound emitters (‘pingers’) are used in several gillnet fisheries to reduce bycatch of small cetaceans, and/or to reduce depredation by dolphins. Here, we review studies conducted to determine how effective these devices may be as management tools.

High contrast panels and lights do not reduce bird bycatch in Baltic Sea gillnet fisheries

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Bycatch is a cause of mortality among marine mammals, sea turtles, fish and birds. For some species this mortality may be sufficient to cause population declines.

Ecological implications of Rastrineobola argentea (omena) fishery: A rapid assessment of bycatch diversity at Dunga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya

, 2022
Rastrineobola argentea (omena) is the second most important species in the fisheries of Lake Victoria after Nile perch. However, its fisheries have negative impacts on the ecology of the lake especially because of the high numbers and diversity of ...

Participatory Risk Assessment of Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) Bycatch in Northern Peru

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Uncertainties about the magnitude of bycatch in poorly assessed fisheries impede effective conservation management. In northern Peru, small-scale fisheries (SSF) bycatch negatively impacts marine megafauna populations and the livelihoods of fishers which

Comparing Dynamic and Static Time-Area Closures for Bycatch Mitigation: A Management Strategy Evaluation of a Swordfish Fishery

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Time-area closures are a valuable tool for mitigating fisheries bycatch. There is increasing recognition that dynamic closures, which have boundaries that vary across space and time, can be more effective than static closures at protecting mobile species
