Residency and Space Use of Endangered Smoothhound Sharks (Mustelus mustelus) in Relation to Marine Protection and Demersal Longline Fishing Along South Africa's South Coast

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shark populations are declining globally and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation tool may vary by species and environmental context. This study assessed space use and residency of smoothhound sharks (Mustelus mustelus)—an endangered, yet highly exploited shark—in relation to spatial protection and fishing risk ...

Species’ traits and exposure as a future lens for quantifying seabird bycatch vulnerability in global fisheries

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality of non-target species, is a global threat to seabirds and a major driver of their declines worldwide. Identifying the most vulnerable species is core to developing sustainable fisheries management strategies ...

Is Gillnet Prey Subsidizing Ontogenetic Diet Shifts and Early Weaning in Common Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins From the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artisanal gillnet fisheries can concentrate prey and provide incidental food subsidies to marine predators, but their effects on early‐life foraging behavior and demography remain poorly resolved. The Alvarado bottlenose dolphin population that lives off the coast of Veracruz, Mexico, is well known for having chronic, frequent, and recurring ...

Enhanced data collection in the Canadian Arctic for seabird bycatch information yields highly variable results

Arctic Science
Incidental catch of seabirds (bycatch) in fisheries has been identified as a major threat to the conservation of seabird populations. Acquiring accurate, detailed data on seabird bycatch is an ongoing challenge to effective integrated ecosystem ...

Bycatch of crustacean and fish bottom trawl fisheries from southern Portugal (Algarve)

Scientia Marina, 2008
As part of two research projects for analysing bycatch and discards, we quantified catch composition, catch rates, bycatch and discards in two important commercial bottom trawl fisheries (crustacean and fish trawls) off the southern coast of Portugal ...

Defining Sustainability for Multispecies Fisheries and Challenges in Application of Global Certification and Labeling Schemes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most fisheries in the world do not focus on the capture of only one or two species but harvest multiple species. Multispecies fisheries are challenging to understand and manage, with single species management options often insufficient and/or inappropriate.

An Updated Ecology of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) at Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon have had a key role in European and North American oceans and human societies. Salmon are exploited and observed in rivers and along coasts, but there has always been great interest in knowing where salmon are going when they are at sea.
