Fleet Communication to Abate Fisheries Bycatch

open access: yesMarine Policy, 2006
Abstract Fleet communication systems report near real-time observations of bycatch hotspots to enable a fishery to operate as a coordinated “One Fleet” to substantially reduce fleet-wide capture of protected bycatch species. This benefits the bycatch species per se, reduces waste, and can provide economic benefits to industry by reducing risk of ...

Modeling Spatial Patterns in Fisheries Bycatch: Improving Bycatch Maps to Aid Fisheries Management.

Ecological Applications, 2008
Fisheries bycatch, or incidental take, of large vertebrates such as sea turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals, is a pressing conservation and fisheries management issue. Identifying spatial patterns of bycatch is an important element in managing and mitigating bycatch occurrences. Because bycatch of these taxa involves rare events and fishing effort is

Mitigating Bycatch in Tuna Fisheries

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2017
Monitoring and managing fisheries bycatch is increasingly recognized as a critical component of robust fisheries management frameworks. This review, addressing this subject, begins by defining bycatch and analyzing the reasons it happens, from accidental to intentional discarding. It identifies the most common species composing bycatch of the main tuna

Mapping the Bycatch Seascape: Multispecies and Multi-Scale Spatial Patterns of Fisheries Bycatch

Ecological Applications, 2009
Fisheries bycatch is a worldwide conservation issue. Despite a growing awareness of bycatch problems in particular ocean regions, there have been few efforts to identify spatial patterns in bycatch events. Furthermore, many studies of fisheries bycatch have been myopic, focusing on a single species or a single region.

Fisheries Bycatch: Implications for Management

Fisheries, 1998
Abstract A broad-based public consensus has emerged that bycatch should be minimized to levels approaching insignificance. This view, as reflected in U.S. and worldwide legislation and agreements, demonstrates the widely held belief that discarded portions of fishery catches (including economic resources, protected species, and unobserved mortalities ...
