Scaling up ocean conservation through recognition of key biodiversity areas in the Southern Ocean from multispecies tracking data

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity is critical for maintaining ecosystem function but is threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures. In the Southern Ocean, a highly biologically productive region containing many endemic species, proactive management is urgently needed to mitigate increasing pressures from fishing, climate change, and tourism.

Managing Marine Protected Areas in Remote Areas: The Case of the Subantarctic Heard and McDonald Islands

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Large marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly being established to contribute to global conservation targets but present an immense challenge for managers as they seek to govern human interactions with the environment over a vast geographical ...

DNA metabarcoding as a marine conservation and management tool: A circumpolar examination of fishery discards in the diet of threatened albatrosses [PDF]

, 2017
Almost all of the world's fisheries overlap spatially and temporally with foraging seabirds, with impacts that range from food supplementation (through scavenging behind vessels), to resource competition and incidental mortality. The nature and extent of

A New Seafood Import Policy for Nations to Combat Illegal Fishing

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT The environmental and social sustainability of seafood is jeopardized by rampant illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Regulations implemented by fishing countries and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations are insufficient to combat illegal fishing; complementary efforts from the consumer end of the supply chain are essential ...

Variation in wing and tail moult intensity in white‐chinned petrels

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, January 2025.
The cost of moult is substantial, and the timing and intensity of flight feather moult can influence survival and fitness, especially in large, long‐winged species such as many seabirds. We explore variation in wing and tail moult in > 2400 white‐chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis killed in fisheries off southern Africa to assess how they ...

How do seabirds modify their search behaviour when encountering fishing boats?

PLoS ONE, 2019
Seabirds are well known to be attracted by fishing boats to forage on offal and baits. We used recently developed loggers that record accurate GPS position and detect the presence of boats through their radar emissions to examine how albatrosses use Area

Sensitivity of the stock assessment for the Antarctic krill fishery to time‐varying natural and fishing mortality

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 6, December 2024.
Abstract The stock assessment model for the Antarctic krill fishery is a population model operating on daily timesteps, which permits modeling within‐year patterns of some population dynamics. We explored the effects of including within‐year patterns in natural and fishing mortality on catch limits of krill, by incorporating temporal presence of key ...
