Exploitation and depredation rates determine viability of depredation-impacted fisheries [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Modelling, 2023
Depredation can broadly affect marine socio-ecological systems, yet it has been little studied via modelling approaches. Here we used qualitative mathematical modelling of system feedback (Puccia and Levins’ loop analysis) and a system of ordinary differential equations to represent major interactions between a fishery, an exploited stock and a ...

Understanding the Interactions Between Cetaceans and Other Megafauna With the Albacore Tuna Fishery: A Case Study From the Cyprus’ Pelagic Longline Fishery

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Depredation by cetaceans on fisheries is a major issue globally, both in terms of conservation and fisheries economics. The present study conducted in Cyprus, Eastern Mediterranean Sea, aimed to understand the extent, level, and type of cetacean ...

Toothed whale and shark depredation indicators: A case study from the Reunion Island and Seychelles pelagic longline fisheries. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Depredation in marine ecosystems is defined as the damage or removal of fish or bait from fishing gear by predators. Depredation raises concerns about the conservation of species involved, fisheries yield and profitability, and reference points based on ...

The Integral Nature of Encounter Rate in Predicting Livestock Depredation Risk

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
Carnivore depredation of livestock is one of the primary drivers of human-carnivore conflict globally, threatening the well-being of livestock owners, and fueling large carnivore population declines. Interventions designed to reduce carnivore depredation

Patterns of depredation in the Hawai‘i deep‐set longline fishery informed by fishery and false killer whale behavior

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
False killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) depredate bait and catch in the Hawai‘i‐based deep‐set longline fishery, and as a result, this species is hooked or entangled more than any other cetacean in this fishery. We analyzed data collected by fisheries

Spatial and seasonal variation of livestock depredation by large carnivores in the Pamir Mountains of northern Pakistan

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2023
The livestock depredation by large carnivores is a main cause for increasing human–wildlife conflicts (HWCs) and is one of the prime challenges for carnivore's conservation and a major economic concern to livestock‐dependent communities around wildlife ...

Killer whale depredation and associated costs to Alaskan sablefish, Pacific halibut and Greenland turbot longliners. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Killer whale (Orcinus orca) depredation (whales stealing or damaging fish caught on fishing gear) adversely impacts demersal longline fisheries for sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and Greenland turbot ...

Bear-baiting may exacerbate wolf-hunting dog conflict. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The influence of policy on the incidence of human-wildlife conflict can be complex and not entirely anticipated. Policies for managing bear hunter success and depredation on hunting dogs by wolves represent an important case because with ...
