Strategies for Trawl Fisheries Bycatch Management (REBYC-II CTI)

, 2014
PROJECT REBYC- II CTI aims at mitigating problems associated with bycatch in trawl fisheries and contribute to more sustainable use of the fisheries resources and healthier marine ecosystems located within the Coral Triangle Region of Southeast Asia ...

Divergent Environmental Niches and Climate Vulnerabilities of Jonah Crab (Cancer borealis) and Atlantic Rock Crab (Cancer irroratus)

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jonah crab and Atlantic rock crab in the United States are currently assessed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate change vulnerability assessments under the category Cancer crabs due to a dearth of species‐specific information across the attributes assessed.

ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF ALTERNATIVE BYCATCH-REDUCTION POLICIES AND BYCATCH REDUCTION DEVICES [PDF]

This paper examines the ability of two new policies to reduce bycatch of red snapper by the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico: Fractional License and Fractional Gear Programs, as proposed by Townsend, reduce bycatch by reducing the effort levels of ...

Above Water Deterrents Reduce Auk Bycatch in Gillnet Fisheries off the United Kingdom

Conservation Letters
Seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries is a globally pervasive conservation issue, yet evidence for effective, scalable mitigation remains limited. In a gillnet fishery off the United Kingdom (1057 sets), we evaluated two above water deterrents (AWDs ...

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Estimating overall fish bycatch in U.S. commercial fisheries [PDF]

, 2012
Bycatch, or the unintended capture of fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds by fishing gear, occurs to some degree in most fisheries. The recently released National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) U.S.

Enhancing the contribution of industrial tuna fisheries to food security: a case study from Solomon Islands

Environmental Research: Food Systems
Rapid population growth in urban centres in Melanesia has raised concerns over the capacity of coastal fisheries to make their traditional contributions to domestic food security.

Modified fin morphology in mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) may indicate nesting behaviour

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring reproductive traits in Southern Ocean species is challenging. Males in some channichthyids thicken the epithelium along their anal fins to aid nest construction. This study presents initial evidence that the only commercially harvested channichthyid, mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari), exhibits modifications to their anal ...

Fishery discards and bycatch: solutions for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management?

Hydrobiologia, 2011
It has been widely acknowledged that fishery discard practices constitute a purposeless waste of valuable living resources, which plays an important role in the depletion of marine populations. Furthermore, discarding may have a number of adverse ecological impacts in marine ecosystems, provoking changes in the overall structure of trophic webs and ...

DNA barcoding reveals the presence of Whitson's grenadier, Macrourus whitsoni, in sub‐Antarctic waters of South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Macrourid species constitute the main bycatch in Southern Ocean toothfish longline fisheries. We report the first confirmed record of Whitson's grenadier, Macrourus whitsoni, in the South Georgia toothfish fishery. Mitochondrial cox1 DNA barcoding confirmed its presence in bycatch samples collected around South Georgia and the northern South ...
