Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011

Endangered Species Research, 2013
Since the 1970s the role of fishery bycatch as a factor reducing, or limiting the recovery of, marine mammal populations has been increasingly recognized.

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

Mortality of Migratory Birds from Marine Commercial Fisheries and Offshore Oil and Gas Production in Canada

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2013
There is an imminent need for conservation and best-practice management efforts in marine ecosystems where global-scale declines in the biodiversity and biomass of large vertebrate predators are increasing and marine communities are being altered.

Discard Survival of Thornback Ray (Raja clavata), Undulate Ray (Raja undulata) and Small‐Eyed Ray (Raja microocellata) in Northeast Atlantic Inshore Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray (Raja clavata), undulate ray (Raja undulata) and small‐eyed ray (Raja microocellata) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries ...

A Changing Gulf of Maine: Investigating the Role of Benthic Water Temperature in Determining the Timing of Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) Arrival and Departure in the Gulf of Maine [PDF]

, 2017
Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is a highly migratory elasmobranch that undergoes annual migrations along the East Coast of the United States. Spiny dogfish have been studied extensively on the West Coast, but little information currently exists on the

Factors Influencing the Stocking of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predator species of fish play crucial roles in ecosystem balance through top‐down control, a mechanism frequently exploited in biomanipulation to stock predator species. Juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked (n = 52,887) in spring 2023 and 2024 and autumn 2023 to compare stocking efficiency between Recirculation Aquaculture ...

Socioeconomic characteristics of payang seine (lampara) and driftnet fisheries in West Sumatra, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2000
A proportionate random sample survey of 10 percent of the driftnet and Payang seine fishers in West Sumatra was carried out in 1998. A total of 45 driftnet and 66 lampara fishers were interviewed to obtain socioeconomic data on the fisheries.

Marine Bird Bycatch in Alaska Salmon Gillnet Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology
ABSTRACTIncidental catch in gillnet fisheries has a substantial conservation impact on marine diving birds. We synthesized available marine bird bycatch data from Alaska salmon gillnet fisheries to estimate standardized bycatch rates, model factors influencing bycatch rates, and estimate total bycatch.

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...
