The impact of predation by marine mammals on patagonian toothfish longline fisheries.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Predatory interaction of marine mammals with longline fisheries is observed globally, leading to partial or complete loss of the catch and in some parts of the world to considerable financial loss.

A netting-based alternative to rigid sorting grids in the small-meshed Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) trawl fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2021
A new bycatch reduction device, termed "Excluder", is presented as an alternative to a traditional rigid sorting grid, mandatory in the small-meshed Norway Pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) trawl fishery in the North Sea.

Assessment of the interactions between cetaceans and fisheries at the south of the Cetacean Migration Corridor and neighboring waters (Western Mediterranean)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Cetacean Migration Corridor is an important marine protected area for cetacean species in the Western Mediterranean, and part of its waters constitute the main fishing grounds for the Valencia region (East Spain) fishing fleet.

Impacts of brush pile fishing on fish biodiversity: A case study of the Shari-Goyain River in Bangladesh

Heliyon, 2022
Brush pile (katha), a fish aggregating device, has been widely used in the Shari-Goyain River since 2003 to congregate fish for easier catch. Katha is usually used during the winter season when the water depth decreases.

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.

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 ...
