An investigation of factors related to the bycatch of small cetaceans in fishing gear [PDF]
, 2011 The bycatch of cetaceans in fishing gear is considered to be one of the biggest conservation threats to these species. Gear modifications have the potential to reduce these bycatches in global fisheries but there is little available information on how ...

Can pingers mitigate the bycatch of the endangered Black Sea Harbour Porpoise? [PDF]
Nature ConservationIncidental catch in fishing gear, mainly in bottom-set gillnets targeting turbot, is a major mortality factor for the Black Sea harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena relicta), an endangered endemic subspecies of cetacean.

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.

Estimating the impact of bycatch and calculating bycatch limits to achieve conservation objectives as applied to harbour porpoise in the North Sea [PDF]
, 2009 Incidental catch, or bycatch, of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in fishing operations is an international conservation issue. The main objective of this thesis was to develop methods for determining the impact of bycatch on the state and dynamics ...

Bycatch and Bycatch Reduction in Recreational Shrimping [PDF]
, 1994 We estimated the bycatch from recreational shrimping by quantifying the catch from fishery independent trawling and through a survey of licensed recreational shrimpers in Alabama during 1990.
