Ecological risk assessment in the southern Indian Ocean: Towards better seabird bycatch mitigation

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1218-1228, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Fisheries bycatch has been identified as the most serious threat to many seabird species and there is an increasing awareness of the responsibility of fisheries management bodies to include the impact on non‐target species in their management and regulatory frameworks. In 2022, an ecological risk assessment (ERA) for seabirds and fisheries was

Assessing progress in data reporting by tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1264-1281, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) are responsible for conservation and sustainable management of transboundary tuna resources in Exclusive Economic Zones and Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ). The data collected and analyses performed by tuna RFMOs are one of the main sources of scientific information supporting ...

Spatially explicit risk assessment of marine megafauna vulnerability to Indian Ocean tuna fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1180-1201, September 2022., 2022
Abstract By‐catch is the most significant direct threat marine megafauna face at the global scale. However, the magnitude and spatial patterns of megafauna by‐catch are still poorly understood, especially in regions with very limited monitoring and expanding fisheries.

Area‐based management of blue water fisheries: Current knowledge and research needs

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 492-518, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The pelagic fisheries beyond the continental shelves are currently managed with a range of tools largely based on regulating effort or target catch. These tools comprise both static and dynamic area‐based approaches to include gear limitations, closed areas and bycatch limits. There are increasing calls for additional area‐based interventions,

Rapidly increasing eco‐certification coverage transforming management of world’s tuna fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 592-604, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Tuna support some of the world's largest, most valuable and spatially extensive fisheries, but effective management has been challenging due to their transboundary movements and the need for multilateral decision‐making. To address public concerns of over‐exploitation, fishing companies have sought to differentiate themselves through ...

Using Benford's Law to Detect Possible Biases in Reported Catches of Tropical Tuna From the Indian Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Accuracy of catch landing data reported by captains of commercial vessels is crucial in the assessment of marine species stocks and in fisheries policy and management. However, this data can be subject to estimation biases, such as a tendency to inflate some catches (to the detriment of others) and refusal to fill in logbooks.

Quantifying the impact of habitat modifications on species behavior and mortality: A case study of tropical tuna

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 7, October 2024.
Abstract Ecosystems and biodiversity across the world are being altered by human activities. Habitat modification and degradation are among the most important drivers of biodiversity loss. These modifications can have an impact on species behavior, which can, in turn, impact their mortality.

Policy pathways to reduce disproportionate burdens in tuna fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 542-548, May 2024.
Abstract The United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement requires states to recognise the special requirements of developing countries and to ensure that conservation and management measures do not place a disproportionate burden on developing countries.

Bycatch in drift gillnet fisheries: A sink for Indian Ocean cetaceans

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract In 1992, the UN banned the use of large‐scale pelagic driftnets on the high seas (UNGA Resolution 46/215). Three decades later, however, drift gillnets remain one of the primary fishing gears in the Indian Ocean, accounting for approximately 30% of tuna catches in this ocean.
