Genetic assignment of fisheries bycatch reveals disproportionate mortality among Alaska Northern Fulmar breeding colonies [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Global fisheries kill millions of seabirds annually through bycatch, but little is known about population‐level impacts, particularly in species that form metapopulations. U.S.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bycatch is the leading global threat to cetaceans, with at least 300,000 cetaceans estimated to be killed each year in fisheries. Regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) are key actors in global fisheries management, including bycatch ...

Fisheries bycatch risk to marine megafauna is intensified in Lagrangian coherent structures. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Marine capture fisheries provide a valuable source of protein and are economically important in coastal communities. However, fisheries sustainability is impacted by incidental capture of nontarget species (bycatch), which remains a major ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023 Incidental captures (bycatch) remain a key global conservation threat for cetaceans. Bycatch of harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena in set gillnets is routinely monitored in European Union fisheries, but generally relies on data collected at low spatio ...

Bycatch in Indian trawl fisheries and some suggestions for trawl bycatch mitigation
Current Science, 2022 Globally, trawl is the major fishing gear used in marine fisheries and in India, it contributes to more than one-third of the marine fish production. Trawl fishing has been critically evaluated from a sustainability perspective, especially analysing its ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 Fisheries bycatch has been identified as the greatest threat to marine mammals worldwide. Characterizing the impacts of bycatch on marine mammals is challenging because it is difficult to both observe and quantify, particularly in small-scale fisheries ...

Effects of Climate Change and Fisheries Bycatch on Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta) in Southern Australia. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 The impacts of climate change on marine species are often compounded by other stressors that make direct attribution and prediction difficult. Shy albatrosses (Thalassarche cauta) breeding on Albatross Island, Tasmania, show an unusually restricted ...

Cetacean bycatch in Indian Ocean tuna gillnet fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Pelagic gillnet (driftnet) fisheries account for some 34% of Indian Ocean tuna catches. We combined published results from 10 bycatch sampling programmes (1981-2016) in Australia, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan to estimate bycatch rates for cetaceans ...

Fisheries Bycatch of Chondrichthyes
, 2017 This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge about global chondrichthyes bycatch, including how the combination of biological characteristics of these species and the impact of different fishing methods reflect their vulnerability to bycatch.

Addressing fisheries bycatch in a changing world [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Fisheries bycatch is a threat to species of marine megafauna across the world’s oceans. Work over the past several decades has greatly advanced our understanding of the species affected, the magnitude and the spatial extent of bycatch.
