Shark bycatch of the acoupa weakfish, Cynoscion acoupa (Lacèpede, 1801), fisheries of the Amazon Shelf

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In recent years, the populations of many shark species have been depleted drastically around the world. In the present study, we analyzed the shark bycatch in the monthly landing data of the acoupa weakfish (Cynoscion acoupa) gillnet fisheries of the ...

The Use of Gillnets for Estimation of Fish Stocks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal and Veterinary Advances, 2010
In this research it has been targeted to estimate fishable stocks of Karakaya Dam Lake (in Turkey) by using fishing with gillnets method that had been suggested as an alternative method for estimating fish stocks. Productivity per hectare in the dam lake and the amount of fishable stocks has been calculated to be 13.67 kg ha-1 and 312.005 kg year-1 ...

Looming-eyes buoys fail to reduce seabird bycatch in the Icelandic lumpfish fishery: depth-based fishing restrictions are an alternative

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Bycatch in gillnets from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fisheries is an important conservation issue in the north Atlantic, with up to 30 000 seabirds potentially killed each year. To date, no technical solutions exist to reduce the bycatch of seabirds in

Experimental Mixed Gillnets Improve Catches of Narrow-Barred Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson)

open access: yesFishes, 2023
A new gillnet made from multiple mesh sizes ranging from 125 to 180 mm of stretched mesh (experimental gillnet) was tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare the fishing performance with that of conventional gillnets with a 125 mm mesh ...

Foraging activity of harbour porpoises around a bottom-gillnet in a coastal fishing ground, under the risk of bycatch.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Bycatch of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) by gillnets is a recognised threat to populations. To develop effective mitigation measures, understanding the mechanics of bycatch is essential.

Distribution and Habitat Use of a Cryptic Small Cetacean, the Burmeister's Porpoise, Monitored From a Small-Scale Fishery Platform

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
There is widespread evidence that small-scale fisheries (SSF) bycatch threatens many populations of small cetaceans, yet conservation efforts are often limited by a lack of basic knowledge regarding their abundance, distribution, and habitat use.

Gillnet selectivity for the north African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Clariidae), from the Upper Okavango Delta, Botswana [PDF]

open access: yesActa Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2015
Background. Successful fisheries management requires estimation of gillnet selectivity for optimum exploitation of the resource. In the Okavango Delta, no study has assessed the selectivity of gillnets for Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) which is an ...
