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.

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 ...

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Efficacy of a novel shark bycatch mitigation device in a tuna longline fishery
Current Biology, 2022 Elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, and skates) are caught throughout fisheries globally, leading to over one-third of species being threatened with extinction1. Oceanic shark populations have undergone an average 71% decline over the last half century, owing to an 18-fold increase in relative fishing pressure2.
