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.

Using the empirical Bayes method to estimate and evaluate bycatch rates of seabirds from individual fishing vessels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Minimizing bycatch of seabirds is a major goal of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. In Alaska waters, the bycatch (i.e., inadvertent catches) of seabirds has been an incidental result of demersal groundfish longline fishery operations. Notably,

Evaluating past and future contributions of conservation programs to species recovery

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Impact evaluation of conservation actions is a crucial step in global efforts to curb the biodiversity crisis. Through robust impact evaluation, practitioners can assess the effectiveness of conservation strategies and optimize the use of limited resources.

Seabird bycatch in a Baltic coastal gillnet fishery is orders of magnitude larger than official reports

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Bycatch, or the incidental capture of non-target species in fisheries, has been identified as one of the major threats affecting seabird populations worldwide.

Evaluating the empirical basis for threat attribution in the IUCN Red List

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impacts of different threats on species is key to successful conservation interventions and policies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses threats to species, and the organization's Red List of Threatened Species is a key conservation tool.

The Biology of Mesopelagic Fishes and Their Catches (1950–2018) by Commercial and Experimental Fisheries

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Following a brief review of their biology, this contribution is an attempt to provide a global overview of the catches of mesopelagic fishes (of which 2.68 million tonnes were officially reported to the FAO) throughout the world ocean from 1950 to 2018 ...

Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.

Monitoring small‐scale fisheries through participatory, app‐based surveys in the tropical archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Small Island Developing States have limited capacity to monitor Small Scale Fisheries, despite their high dependence on marine resources. Participatory monitoring of Small Scale Fisheries can fill data gaps while integrating resource users into fisheries management.
