Risk Factors for Seabird Bycatch in a Pelagic Longline Tuna Fishery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Capture in global pelagic longline fisheries threatens the viability of some seabird populations. The Hawaii longline tuna fishery annually catches hundreds of seabirds, primarily Laysan (Phoebastria immutabilis) and black-footed (P.

Biodiversity offsets: a cost-effective interim solution to seabird bycatch in fisheries? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The concept of biodiversity offsets is well established as an approach to environmental management. The concept has been suggested for environmental management in fisheries, particularly in relation to the substantial numbers of non-target species ...

Seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries is grossly underestimated when using only haul data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Hundreds of thousands of seabirds are killed each year as bycatch in longline fisheries. Seabirds are predominantly caught during line setting but bycatch is generally recorded during line hauling, many hours after birds are caught. Bird loss during this

Birds, 2022 Each year, billions of seabirds undertake migrations, connecting remote regions of the world, potentially synchronizing population fluctuations among distant areas. This connectedness has implications for the uncertainty calculations of the total seabird

Altering gillnet soak duration and timing minimizes bycatch and maintains target catch. [PDF]
PLoS ONESeabirds are one of the most at-risk avian groups worldwide, and incidental catch in fishing practices is one of the top threats for seabirds globally.

Illuminating gillnets to save seabirds and the potential for multi-taxa bycatch mitigation [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Bycatch in net fisheries is recognized as a major source of mortality for many marine species, including seabirds. Few mitigation solutions, however, have been identified.

The Development of DNA Markers to Resolve Uncertainties of Seabird Bycatch Identification From Longline Fisheries in Australian Waters [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIncidental mortality in fisheries is a major driver of population declines for albatrosses and petrels globally. However, accurate identification of species can be difficult due to the poor condition of bycaught birds and/or visual similarities between ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015 Competition with fisheries and incidental capture in fishing gear are the major current threats for seabirds at sea. Fishing is a traditional activity in Portugal and is mainly composed of a great number of small vessels.

Hookpod-mini: a smaller potential solution to mitigate seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2019 Hookpods are an emerging technology designed to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries. Hookpod-minis were trialled in the New Zealand surface longline fishery in 2016-2017 during short-term experimental (20 longline sets) and longer-term ...

Endangered Species Research, 2020 Bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries threatens the viability of some seabird populations and reduces fishing efficiency. The mass of a branchline fishing weight and its distance from the hook significantly explain seabird catch risk during setting and ...
