A Study on the Catch Losses and Mesh Selectivity Related to the Attachment of Marine Mammal Bycatch Reduction Devices on Midwater Trawl Gear

Fishes
The National Institute of Fisheries Science in Korea is developing marine mammal bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) for high-risk fishing gear, such as trawls.

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Body Length, Tow Conditions, and Guide-Net Angle as Joint Predictive Contributors to Catch Loss in a Marine Mammal Bycatch Reduction Device: An Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis

Fishes
Guide-net marine mammal bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) are intended to reduce protected species interactions in trawl fisheries, but their use may also cause catch loss of commercial fish and cephalopods.

To release or not to release? Understanding sawfish release behavior in a global south complex fishery

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This demonstrates the gap between existing top‐down laws and strategies (Current Approach) and the barriers fishers face while proposing an alternative pathway (Proposed Approach) based on collaboration, capacity building, and addressing socio‐economic factors.

Using value of information in recovery planning for imperiled species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation planning often employs predictive models to prioritize alternative actions, but uncertainty related to lack of data or uncertainty in the influence of global change may erode confidence in predictions. Managers must choose between investing time and money to gather more information, or implementing conservation actions immediately, despite

An assessment of dolphin behaviour and bycatch mitigation techniques in the Pilbara Fish Trawl Fishery, Western Australia [PDF]

, 2009
The incidental capture of unwanted species along with target species is a common and wasteful aspect of many fisheries. Trawl fisheries in particular have a high rate of incidental capture, or bycatch, due to the low selectivity of their nets.

A Framework to Predict and Mitigate Bycatch for Vulnerable Marine Species

, 2021
Bycatch is a pressing concern impeding the sustainability of fisheries. Yet, bycatch is often not well mitigated due to incomplete monitoring of at-sea.

Testing of a soft TED as a bycatch reduction device [PDF]

, 2000
A cooperative study was conducted with commercial fishermen in 1997 in which a soft Turtle Excluder Device was tested for its potential as a bycatch reduction device (BRD) for finfish and other marine fauna incidentally captured in commercial shrimp ...

Evaluation of a Modified Codend Configuration for a Marine Mammal Bycatch Reduction Device in a Midwater Trawl Gear

Fishes
Marine mammal Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) can result in the escape of target fish species. In the present study, a modified single-layer codend configuration developed from previous studies was evaluated using BRDs with guide net angles of 30° and ...

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...
