The diatoms test in veterinary medicine: a pilot study on cetaceans and sea turtles [PDF]

, 2018
Fishing activities are considered one of the most relevant threats for cetaceans and sea turtles con- servation since these animals are sometimes found dead entangled in fishing gears.

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Mitigating bycatch in Mediterranean trammel net fisheries using species-specific gear modifications

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) use static gear which are thought to interact with marine ecosystems more benignly than towed gear. Despite this, trammel nets, one of the most extensively used type of fishing gear in the Mediterranean SSF, generate large amounts of discards, which can account for 25% or more of the captured biomass ...

Bycatch Dynamics from a Small-Scale Shrimp Trap Fishery in the Mediterranean Sea

Diversity, 2022
Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in the Mediterranean and Black seas play a significant social and economic role, representing 84% of the fishing fleet (70,000 vessels), 26% of total revenue (USD 633 million) and 60% of total employment (150,000 people ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Unfinished Business: a Review of the Implementation of the Provisions of United Nations General Assembly Resolutions 61/105 and 64/72, Related to the Management of Bottom Fisheries in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction [PDF]

, 2011
In 2006 the General Assembly adopted resolution 61/105, based on a compromise proposal offered by deep-sea fishing nations, which committed States and regional fisheries management organisations [RFMOs] to take specific measures to protect vulnerable ...

A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...
