Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Determination of Optimal Acoustic Passive Reflectors to Reduce Bycatch of Odontocetes in Gillnets

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The need to minimize bycatch of toothed whales (odontocetes) in gillnets has long been recognized, because they are often top predators and thus essential to ecosystem resilience.

To release or not to release? Understanding sawfish release behavior in a global south complex fishery

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This demonstrates the gap between existing top‐down laws and strategies (Current Approach) and the barriers fishers face while proposing an alternative pathway (Proposed Approach) based on collaboration, capacity building, and addressing socio‐economic factors.

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC MODEL OF TERASAK FISHERMAN’S HOUSEHOLD AT MADURA STRAIT

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2021
In dry season, the income level of fishermen is very minimal and they often do not get any catches at all. In periods of low income, fishermen's wives and children usually have to fight hard to earn money by doing all the work that brings income.

Recovery of Four Commercial Fish Stocks in Lake IJsselmeer (The Netherlands) After Major Fishery Management Interventions

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable management of inland fisheries presents major challenges because it often involves complex and open access systems. Lake IJsselmeer is among the largest freshwater lakes in western Europe and supports active commercial fisheries.

Does Survey Angling CPUE Reflect Population Density of Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in Small Boreal Lakes?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowing the relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) and population density is crucial for the management of recreational fisheries. We conducted standardized angling for pike in 16 lakes (3.4–22.1 ha) to test whether lure type, color, and pike density affect CPUE and the size of captured fish.

Residency and Space Use of Endangered Smoothhound Sharks (Mustelus mustelus) in Relation to Marine Protection and Demersal Longline Fishing Along South Africa's South Coast

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shark populations are declining globally and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation tool may vary by species and environmental context. This study assessed space use and residency of smoothhound sharks (Mustelus mustelus)—an endangered, yet highly exploited shark—in relation to spatial protection and fishing risk ...

Challenges for Sustainable Coastal Fisheries in a Changing Marine Environment: Spatiotemporal Impacts of Offshore Wind Farm Development in Taiwan

Fishes
Offshore wind farm (OWF) development raises concerns regarding potential conflicts with local fisheries and marine ecosystems. This study investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of gillnet and trawl fisheries in the coastal waters off Changhua, Taiwan ...

What are the main local drivers determining richness and fishery yields in tropical coastal fish assemblages?

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018
Seasonal ecological effects caused by temperature and photoperiod are typically considered minimal in the tropics. Nevertheless, annual climate cycles may still influence the distribution and abundance of tropical species.
