Climate driven spatiotemporal variations in seabird bycatch hotspots and implications for seabird bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Bycatch in fisheries is a major threat to many seabird species. Understanding and predicting spatiotemporal changes in seabird bycatch from fisheries might be the key to mitigation.

Investigating weighted fishing hooks for seabird bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Fisheries bycatch threatens the viability of some seabird populations and reduces fishing efficiency. Albatross bycatch in a US North Pacific tuna longline fishery has increased over the past decade and now exceeds 1000 annual captures.

Spatial and temporal variations in seabird bycatch: Incidental bycatch in the Norwegian coastal gillnet-fishery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The general decline of seabird populations worldwide raises large concerns. Although multiple factors are interacting to cause the observed trends, increased mortality from incidental bycatch in fisheries has proven to be important for many species ...

Relative abundance and distribution of fisheries influence risk of seabird bycatch. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Fisheries provide an abundant and predictable food source for many pelagic seabirds through discards, but also pose a major threat to them through bycatch, threatening their populations worldwide. The reform of the European Common Fisheries Policy (CFP),

Adjusting time-of-day and depth of fishing provides an economically viable solution to seabird bycatch in an albacore tuna longline fishery [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Marine megafauna exposed to fisheries bycatch belong to some of the most threatened taxonomic groups and include apex and mesopredators that contribute to ecosystem regulation. Fisheries bycatch is a major threat to the conservation of albatrosses, large

Buoys with looming eyes deter seaducks and could potentially reduce seabird bycatch in gillnets [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Bycatch of seabirds in gillnet fisheries is a global conservation issue with an estimated 400 000 seabirds killed each year. To date, no underwater deterrents trialled have consistently reduced seabird bycatch across operational fisheries.

Slow sink rate in floated-demersal longline and implications for seabird bycatch risk. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Bycatch of birds in longline fisheries is a global conservation issue, with between 160,000-320,000 seabirds killed each year, primarily through being caught and drowned as they attempt to snatch baits off hooks as they are set.

Effectiveness of tori line use to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fishing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Industrial longline fisheries cause the death of large numbers of seabirds annually. Various mitigation measures have been proposed, including the use of tori lines.

Seabird bycatch mitigation trials in artisanal demersal longliners of the Western Mediterranean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 High numbers of seabirds are killed annually worldwide in longline fisheries. In the Mediterranean, this mortality is seriously affecting the viability of seabird populations, in particular of the three endemic shearwaters. Even so, there is currently no
