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)

Seabird bycatch in the demersal longline fishery off southern Africa
African Journal of Marine Science, 2009This study assesses seabird bycatch in the demersal longline hake (Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus) fishery in the southern Benguela region. Observers collected seabird bycatch data from 2 412 sets (14 million hooks) in the South African fishery, accounting for 6.8% of total effort for the period 2000–2006. Of the 107 seabirds caught, at a rate of

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.

Seabird bycatch vulnerability to pelagic longline fisheries: Ecological traits matter
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2019Abstract Fisheries bycatch of seabirds presents a serious management problem, and relatively little is known about this problem. In the Western North Atlantic, the issue is complicated by the relatively low effort and coverage of the observer programme and the high uncertainty in species identification.

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 ...
