Abstract Mortality during commercial fishing activities is a significant threat to many imperiled seabird species, and myriad technologies have been developed to reduce mortality during longline fishing operations. However, individual studies have never been combined in a quantitative manner to determine if seabird bycatch reduction devices (BRD ...

ESTIMATING FISHERY BYCATCH AND EFFECTS ON A VULNERABLE SEABIRD POPULATION
Ecological Applications, 2003Pelagic longline fisheries worldwide incidentally take long-lived seabird species. This mortality has led to fisheries restrictions to protect seabirds at risk, including Wandering (Diomedea exulans) and Amsterdam Albatross (D. amsterdamensis) in the South Pacific and Spectacled Petrel (Procellaria conspicillata) in the South Atlantic.

Reducing seabird bycatch in longline, trawl and gillnet fisheries
Fish and Fisheries, 2007AbstractWith an increasing number of seabird species, particularly albatross and petrels, becoming threatened, a reduction of fishery impacts on these species is essential for their future survival. Here, mitigation methods to reduce and avoid seabird bycatch are assessed in terms of their ability to reduce bycatch rates and their economic viability ...

Understanding and addressing seabird bycatch in Alaska demersal longline fisheries
Biological Conservation, 2009Abstract The incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries is a global conservation concern. In Alaska, annual seabird bycatch in demersal longline fisheries ranged between 10,300 and 26,300 birds (1995–2001). We explore the relationship between four categories of potential forcing factors (temporal, spatial, environmental, and fisheries-related)

Novel Tools to Reduce Seabird Bycatch in Coastal Gillnet Fisheries
Conservation Biology, 1999Abstract: We examined several strategies to reduce seabird bycatch, primarily of Common Murres ( Uria aalge ) and Rhinoceros Auklets ( Cerorhinca monocerata ), in a coastal salmon drift gillnet fishery in Puget Sound, Washington, U.S.

Albatross and longlining—Managing seabird bycatch
Marine Policy, 1997Abstract Seabirds can be accidentally injured or killed during certain types of fishing. The fishing method currently under most scrutiny for its impact on seabird populations is demersal and pelagic longlining. The main species of concern at present are albatross. This paper outlines current mitigation measures, both gear and operational changes, to

EU request on monitoring of bycatch of seabirds
2022ICES advises on a series of fisheries where bycatch is likely to pose a risk to seabird populations. Fisheries within each of the four European DCF regions as well as some parts of the larger DCF areas were reviewed for level IV métiers. Information on bycatch remains relatively sparse and is becoming increasingly dated.

Quantifying seabird bycatch: where do we go from here?
Animal Conservation, 2008Bycatch of seabirds in offshore commercial fisheries has long been recognized as a serious conservation issue (e.g. Brothers, 1991; Brothers, Cooper & Lokkeborg, 1999), but until recently the problem was principally associated with industrial longline gear. In fact, pelagic seabird bycatch is very much a multi-gear problem.
