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.

Fish distributions reveal discrepancies between zonal attachment and quota allocations

Conservation Letters, 2020
The oceans’ fisheries contribute to human wellbeing by providing essential nutrients, employment, and income. Changes in fish distribution, due to climate change or stock expansion, jeopardize conservation objectives because fishers catch more than is ...

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.

An assessment of discarded catches from the bottom pair trawling fishery in southern Brazil

Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2021
Onboard discards of a fraction of the catch can be considered one of the main issues related to bottom trawling fisheries. The magnitude and composition of the discards still need to be better understood.
