Mitigating slipping-related mortality from purse seine fisheries for small pelagic fish: case studies from European Atlantic waters [PDF]

, 2019
The release of unwanted catches (UWC) from purse seines, while the catch is still in the water, is known as “slipping”. Once thought to be a benign process, compared to discarding UWC overboard from the fishing vessel, it is now recognised that “slipping”

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1143-1180, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Best practices for mitigating seabird bycatch on Taiwanese albacore longline fishing vessels operating in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean

Global Ecology and Conservation
Seabird bycatch—particularly involving albatrosses and petrels—remains a significant conservation concern in pelagic longline fisheries. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three mitigation measures—bird-scaring lines (BSLs), weighted branch lines,
