EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT BYCATCH REDUCTION DEVICES (BRDS) IN SHRIMP TRAWLERS IN THE PERSIAN GULF
The effect of different bycatch reduction devices in decreasing bycatch of commercial fish species with the length of less than LM50 (the length from which, 50% of them are matured) in shrimp trawlers were examined.

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Bycatch Reduction in Eastern North Pacific Trawl Fisheries [PDF]
This thesis provides an overview of recent selectivity studies conducted in eastern North Pacific trawl fisheries (e.g., West Coast groundfish bottom trawl fishery, Pacific hake [Merluccius productus] fishery, and ocean shrimp [Pandalus jordani] fishery).

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Evaluation of the Gulf Fisheye Bycatch Reduction Device in the Northern Gulf Inshore Shrimp Fishery [PDF]
The performance of the Gulf fisheye bycatch reduction device (BRD) was evaluated on two vessels during inshore shrimp fishing operations in the northern Gulf of Mexico by comparing catch rates with control nets in twin-trawl configurations using ...

Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans
ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

From acceptance to support: fishers’ pathways to adopting circle hooks to reduce sea turtle bycatch
Sea turtle bycatch remains a critical obstacle to marine biodiversity conservation in the Eastern Pacific longline fishery. While circle hooks are proven to reduce sea turtle bycatch, uptake in longline fleets remains patchy.

ABSTRACT The abundance of cetaceans in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) is estimated using spatial/temporal density modeling and conventional line‐transect approaches. Line‐transect data are analyzed from 10 ship‐based visual sighting surveys from 1986 to 2006 that include 281,000 km of survey effort in a 19.4 million km2 study area.

Highly Mobile Seabirds Reveal Areas of Conservation Importance Across the Atlantic Ocean
ABSTRACT Countries have committed to expanding the marine protected area (MPA) network to 30% of the world's ocean by 2030, more than tripling current coverage, and focusing on areas important for biodiversity. For such expansion to translate into effective conservation of marine biodiversity, it must rely on the best available knowledge.
