A Closer Look at Seabird and Marine Mammal Bycatch Data in Alaska’s Longline Groundfish and Pacific Halibut Fisheries: A Reassessment with Open Access and Machine Learning Ensembles Explicit in Space and Time Shows Deficiencies

open access: yesData Science Journal
Bycatch, the capture of non-target species during fishing operations, causes significant ecological, physical, and socio-economic impacts. Despite widespread Open Access policies worldwide, effective bycatch assessment using Open Access data remains ...

How much do we know about seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries? A simulation study on the potential bias caused by the usually unobserved portion of seabird bycatch.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Not much is known about the fleet level total seabird bycatch from pelagic longlines of United States vessels in the western North Atlantic or other fleets of the Atlantic or other oceans.

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

Estimating common dolphin bycatch in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Small-scale artisanal fisheries can have a significant negative impact in cetacean populations. Cetacean bycatch has been documented in the pole-and-line tuna fishery in the Azores with common dolphins being the species more frequently taken.

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Bycatch-threatened seabirds disproportionally contribute to community trait composition across the world

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Human pressures in the ocean are restructuring biological communities, driving non-random extinctions, and disrupting marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality of non-target species, is a major threat to ...

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

By-catch of sea turtles in Pacific artisanal fishery: Two points of view: From observer and fishers

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Fisheries bycatch is a primary driver of population declines in marine megafauna. These captures not only have environmental impacts, they also have economic consequences for fishers such as direct losses when repairing fishing gear.
