Cetacean bycatch in Indian Ocean tuna gillnet fisheries [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Pelagic gillnet (driftnet) fisheries account for some 34% of Indian Ocean tuna catches. We combined published results from 10 bycatch sampling programmes (1981-2016) in Australia, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan to estimate bycatch rates for cetaceans ...

Spatial and temporal variations in seabird bycatch: Incidental bycatch in the Norwegian coastal gillnet-fishery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The general decline of seabird populations worldwide raises large concerns. Although multiple factors are interacting to cause the observed trends, increased mortality from incidental bycatch in fisheries has proven to be important for many species ...

Effect of gillnet mesh size on the capture probability and capture patterns in the Asian paddle crab (Charybdis japonica) fishery [PDF]
HeliyonIn the Asian paddle crab (Charybdis japonica) gillnet fishery in the Yellow Sea, China, the minimum mesh size (MMS) regulation has been of a major importance due to high bycatch rates of undersized crabs. In this study, we evaluated how gillnet mesh size

Post-Capture Survival and Implications for By-Catch in a Multi-Species Coastal Gillnet Fishery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 As fisheries shift towards ecosystem-based management, the need to reduce impacts on by-catch has been increasingly recognised. In this study the catch composition, discard rate, and post-capture survival of species caught by gillnets in Tasmania ...

Impact of gillnet soaking time on survival, stress physiology, and muscle quality in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) [PDF]
Animal WelfareThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gillnet soak time to gain a better understanding of fish welfare, mortality, stress, and quality (as measured as muscle haemoglobin) during experimental gillnet fishery of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Bycatch mitigation in the West Greenland lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fishery using modified gillnets [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Bycatch in gillnets is a global issue and mitigation measures that balance target species catch rates, bycatch reduction and fisher support are scarce. In the North Atlantic lumpfish fisheries, bycatch includes marine mammals and seabirds, and there are ...

Assessing fishery interaction on cetaceans stranded along the Italian coastline between 1986 and 2023. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMonitoring stranded cetaceans represents a strategic method to assess their health, conservation status, and ecological role in the marine ecosystem. Efficient stranding networks and standardized protocols are essential to monitor this phenomenon and ...
