Threats of Longline Fishing to Global Albatross Diversity [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Albatrosses are among the most threatened seabird species. Often entangled in gillnets or hooked while longline fishing gear is being set, albatrosses are affected by fishing.

Fish grabbing: Weak governance and productive waters are targets for distant water fishing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
Distant water fishing occurs worldwide as foreign fleets fish in the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of other states. We test the hypothesis that host state governance performance is an explanatory factor in observed distant water fishing effort using ...

Environmental DNA as a tool to reconstruct catch composition for longline fisheries vessels [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Global wild-capture fisheries are a large and diverse sector requiring various tools for fisheries-dependant data collection and effective Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS).

Perceptions and attitudes of residents toward small-scale longline tuna fishing in the Galapagos Marine Reserve: conservation and management implications

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Longlining represents a cost-effective fishing modality for catching tuna, but its use is contentious due to the unintended catch of endangered, threatened, and protected (ETP) species.

Nondestructive Monitoring of Soft Bottom Fish and Habitats Using a Standardized, Remote and Unbaited 360° Video Sampling Method

Fishes, 2021
Lagoon soft-bottoms are key habitats within coral reef seascapes. Coral reef fish use these habitats as nurseries, feeding grounds and transit areas. At present, most soft-bottom sampling methods are destructive (trawling, longlining, hook and line).

Revealing the Global Longline Fleet with Satellite Radar

Scientific Reports, 2022
Because many vessels use the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to broadcast GPS positions, recent advances in satellite technology have enabled us to map global fishing activity. Understanding of human activity at sea, however, is limited because an unknown number of vessels do not broadcast AIS.

Acoustic estimation of longline tuna abundance [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2000
The French Polynesia Economic Exclusive Zone is located in an important longline fishing ground for albacore (Thunnus alalunga), yellowfin (T. albacares) and bigeye tuna (T. obesus). Longline tuna abundance estimates using commercial catches are particularly biased when hook depth does not coincide with the depths at which tuna prefer to swim. To avoid

Portuguese Artisanal Fishers’ Knowledge About Elasmobranchs—A Case Study

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The high economic value of fisheries was historically associated to commercial teleost fishes. Since the 1970s, despite some elasmobranchs becoming an important target or a bycatch, relatively little research has been carried out on this group because of

Acoustic tracking of a threatened juvenile shark species, the smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena), reveals vulnerability to exploitation at the boundary of a marine reserve

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The coastal waters of South Africa are habitat to a diverse composition of sharks that are vulnerable to exploitation, many of which are endemic and/or classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as Threatened or Data

Spatial Connectivity and Drivers of Shark Habitat Use Within a Large Marine Protected Area in the Caribbean, The Bahamas Shark Sanctuary

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have emerged as potentially important conservation tools for the conservation of biodiversity and mitigation of climate impacts.
