Evidence of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) depredation on fish caught in gillnets
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bycatch is a major global threat to marine megafauna and occurs in nearly all fishing fleets, including small-scale fisheries that use gillnets. Gillnets represent a threat to endangered air-breathing megafauna, who incidentally entangle in bottom-set ...

Fishes, 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 ...

Juveniles and undersized fish in small-scale fisheries: gillnets are not less implied than trawling
Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2021 Of particular concern in commercial fishing catch is 'size bycatch', i.e., the death of early stages of resources that would reach a marketable value when they turn into adults.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Gillnets made of the biodegradable resin polybutylene succinate co-adipate-co-terephthalate were tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare their fishing performance with that of conventional nylon polyamide (PA) gillnets.

Bycatch mitigation in the West Greenland lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) fishery using modified gillnets. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 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 ...

Illuminating gillnets to save seabirds and the potential for multi-taxa bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Bycatch in net fisheries is recognized as a major source of mortality for many marine species, including seabirds. Few mitigation solutions, however, have been identified.

A Comparative Study of Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable PBSAT and PA Gillnets in Norwegian Coastal Waters [PDF]
Fisheries Research, 2019 This paper presents a comparative study of mechanical properties of biodegradable PBSAT (polybutylene succinate co-adipate-co-terephthalate) and conventional polyamide (PA) gillnets used in Norwegian fisheries.

Applied Sciences, 2021 Although gillnet fisheries are increasingly common in Korea, few studies have conducted sea trials using tie-down gillnets. Here, we analyzed the mesh size selectivity using tie-down gillnets with four different mesh sizes (84, 90, 105, and 120 mm) to ...
