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.

Assessing Incidental Bycatch of Seabirds in Norwegian Coastal Commercial Fisheries: Empirical and Methodological Lessons

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015
With diminishing seabird populations and little knowledge on incidental bycatch in fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic, this study aimed to screen seabird bycatch in Norwegian coastal fisheries in 2009. The purpose was to 1) quantify magnitude of seabird

Cetacean bycatch management in regional fisheries management organizations: Current progress, gaps, and looking ahead

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 ...

Estimating Bycatch Mortality for Marine Mammals: Concepts and Best Practices

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Fisheries bycatch is the greatest current source of human-caused deaths of marine mammals worldwide, with severe impacts on the health and viability of many populations.

Modeling juvenile sea turtle bycatch risk in commercial and recreational fisheries

iScience, 2023
Summary: Understanding the drivers of fisheries bycatch is essential for limiting its impacts on vulnerable species. Here we present a model to estimate the relative magnitude of sea turtle bycatch in major coastal fisheries across the southeastern US ...

Small-scale fisheries bycatch jeopardizes endangered Pacific loggerhead turtles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Although bycatch of industrial-scale fisheries can cause declines in migratory megafauna including seabirds, marine mammals, and sea turtles, the impacts of small-scale fisheries have been largely overlooked. Small-scale fisheries occur in coastal waters

Reducing sea turtle bycatch with net illumination in an Indonesian small-scale coastal gillnet fishery

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Small-scale fisheries are economically and culturally important throughout the world’s coastal waters. These fisheries, however, often have high bycatch rates of protected marine species.

Predicting bycatch hotspots in tropical tuna purse seine fisheries at the basin scale

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Fisheries observer programs represent the most reliable way to collect data on fisheries bycatch. However, their limited coverage leads to important data gaps that preclude bycatch mitigation at the basin scale.

Assessing the Uncertainty of Total Seabird Bycatch Estimates Synthesized from Multiple Sources with a Scenario Analysis from the Western and Central Pacific

Birds, 2022
Each year, billions of seabirds undertake migrations, connecting remote regions of the world, potentially synchronizing population fluctuations among distant areas. This connectedness has implications for the uncertainty calculations of the total seabird

Climate driven spatiotemporal variations in seabird bycatch hotspots and implications for seabird bycatch mitigation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bycatch in fisheries is a major threat to many seabird species. Understanding and predicting spatiotemporal changes in seabird bycatch from fisheries might be the key to mitigation.
