Interactions Between a Large Marine Protected Area, Pelagic Tuna and Associated Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The efficacy of large marine protected areas (MPA) for the conservation of mobile pelagic species is widely debated. Here, we quantified spatial and temporal trends in standardized catch per unit effort (CPUE) of two target pelagic species, yellowfin ...

Analysis of permanent magnets as elasmobranch bycatch reduction devices in hook-and-line and longline trials [PDF]

, 2011
Previous studies indicate that elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates and rays) detect the Earth’s geomagnetic field by indirect magnetoreception through electromagnetic induction, using their ampullae of Lorenzini. Applying this concept, we evaluated the

Assessment of a Baited Remote Underwater Video Method to Evaluate American Lobster (Homarus americanus) Response to Baits in Nature

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The American Lobster (Homarus americanus) is the target of an extensive fishery in the Northwest Atlantic, yet there is no systematic method for evaluating relative performance of baits for the fishery. We used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to assess lobster attraction to commercial baits versus natural prey.
