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 ...

Estimating Bycatch Mortality for Marine Mammals: Concepts and Best Practices
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Fisheries bycatch is the greatest current source of human-caused deaths of marine mammals worldwide, with severe impacts on the health and viability of many populations.

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 ...

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.

Mitigating Seabird Bycatch during Hauling by Pelagic Longline Vessels
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bycatch in longline fisheries threatens the viability of some seabird populations. The Hawaii longline swordfish fishery reduced seabird captures by an order of magnitude primarily through mitigating bycatch during setting. Now, 75% of captures occur during hauling.

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.
