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

Fisheries bycatch as an inadvertent human-induced evolutionary mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 Selective harvesting of animals by humans can affect the sustainability and genetics of their wild populations. Bycatch - the accidental catch of non-target species - spans the spectrum of marine fauna and constitutes a harvesting pressure. Individual differences in attraction to fishing vessels and consequent susceptibility to bycatch exist, but few ...

Bycatch in the Maldivian pole-and-line tuna fishery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tropical tuna fisheries are among the largest worldwide, with some having significant bycatch issues. However, pole-and-line tuna fisheries are widely believed to have low bycatch rates, although these have rarely been quantified.

Bycatch mitigation of protected and threatened species in tuna purse seine and longline fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Bycatch and mortality in fishing gear poses a conservation threat worldwide to many marine species. Resource managers and conservation scientists face challenges in identifying bycatch mitigation solutions that work for multiple taxa while maintaining ...

Dynamic habitat models: using telemetry data to project fisheries bycatch. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2011 Fisheries bycatch is a recognized threat to marine megafauna. Addressing bycatch of pelagic species however is challenging owing to the dynamic nature of marine environments and vagility of these organisms. In order to assess the potential for species to overlap with fisheries, we propose applying dynamic habitat models to determine ...

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.

A decision support tool for integrated fisheries bycatch management
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2022 Participatory decision tools enable stakeholders to reconcile conflicting natural resources management objectives. Fisheries targeting highly productive species can have profound impacts on co-occurring bycatch species with low fecundity and other life ...

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 ...

Reducing cod bycatch in flatfish fisheries
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2022 Management measures to facilitate the recovery of fish stocks can lead to shifts in traditional fishing patterns and target species. In the Baltic Sea, drastic reductions in catch quota for cod (Gadus morhua) force mixed demersal trawl fisheries to avoid cod bycatch and focus on flatfish species.

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.
