Above Water Deterrents Reduce Auk Bycatch in Gillnet Fisheries off the United Kingdom

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries is a globally pervasive conservation issue, yet evidence for effective, scalable mitigation remains limited. In a gillnet fishery off the United Kingdom (1057 sets), we evaluated two above water deterrents (AWDs); “scarybird” kites (“kites” hereafter) and looming‐eyes buoys (LEBs) for reducing seabird ...

ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF ALTERNATIVE BYCATCH-REDUCTION POLICIES AND BYCATCH REDUCTION DEVICES [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines the ability of two new policies to reduce bycatch of red snapper by the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico: Fractional License and Fractional Gear Programs, as proposed by Townsend, reduce bycatch by reducing the effort levels of ...

Repurposing Bird Bycatch From Camera Traps in Urban Landscapes: A Correlate of Avian and Mammalian Richness?

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 330, Issue 1, Page 62-70, September 2026.
Here, we evaluated the ecological value of bird detections obtained opportunistically from camera traps by comparing them with standardized point count surveys conducted in 2023–2024, across the metropolitan area of Firenze, central Italy, and explored their potential to indicate broader urban biodiversity patterns through cross‐taxa relationships with

Assessment of Small‐Meshed Gillnets for Sustainable Fisheries in the Chobe River, Namibia

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Small‐meshed gillnets are restricted by the regulatory framework of the Namibian Inland Fisheries Act of 2003. This is mainly because smaller meshed nets are presumably selective towards juveniles of the large‐growing cichlid species. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the impacts of smaller meshed gillnets (<73 mm) on the fish stocks ...

Strategic Joint Production Under Common-Pool Output Quotas: The Case of Fisheries Bycatch [PDF]

open access: yes
We develop a simple game-theoretic model to explain the production decisions of firms when the production of a marketed good is complementary with the output of an associated good for which no market is available and the output of both goods is regulated

Inland Fishing Gear: Diversity, Classification, Management and Conservation Challenges

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This review highlights the diversity of fishing gear used in inland fisheries, particularly in small‐scale and artisanal fisheries worldwide. It focuses on gear regulation and management, emphasizing environmental impacts and associated conservation challenges, particularly the emerging problem of plastic pollution from fishing in aquatic ...

Southeast United States fisheries bycatch reduction research in shrimp trawl fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Presented in the paper are the two devices that were developed by some states in the southeast United States to reduce fisheries bycatch in shrimp trawls. These were Turtle Excluder Device (TED) and Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD).
