The effects of two different net modifications on reducing discards in the trammel net fishery for prawn in Mersin Bay

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023
The discarded species caught in prawn trammel nets damage the nets and cause a serious labor loss problem for fishers. In the present study, a 15 cm high greenhouse plastic film and a greenhouse shade cloth net were fitted between the lower parts of the ...

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities

Scientia Marina, 2003
Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Strategies used throughout the world to manage fisheries discards – Lessons for implementation of the EU landing obligation [PDF]

, 2018
In many countries, policies regarding reduction of unwanted catch and discards are crafted in response to concerns regarding accountability, conservation, and waste as well as scientific needs to fully account for all sources of fishing mortality.

Demersal and epibenthic assemblages of trawlable grounds in the northern Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean)

Scientia Marina, 2007
The composition and abundance of megabenthic fauna caught by the commercial trawl fleet in the Alboran Sea were studied. A total of 28 hauls were carried out at depths ranging from 50 to 640 m.

A fish stock assessment model using survey data when estimates of catch are unreliable [PDF]

, 2013
Methods of assessment that depend upon commercial catch data can be undermined by misreporting or where parts of the catch, such as discards, are not accounted for.

Valorisation of Protein from Underutilised Harbour Crab (Liocarcinus depurator) as an Egg Yolk Replacer in Mayonnaise-like Sauce Production

Foods
The present study aimed to valorise the harbour crab (Liocarcinus depurator), a common bycatch species, by evaluating its protein as an egg yolk substitute in a mayonnaise-type sauce. The harbour crab was firstly characterised for its physicochemical and

Reconstructing past fisheries catches for large pelagic species in the Indian Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Comprehensive catch data are fundamental to support the sustainable management of large pelagic fisheries. However, catch data reported by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) on behalf of its member countries currently under-represent the extent of ...

Discard Studies

, 2022
An argument that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. Discard studies is an emerging field that looks at waste and wasting broadly construed. Rather than focusing on waste and trash as the primary objects of study, discard studies looks at wider systems of waste and ...
