Use of rapid assessments of fishery bycatch of Humboldt penguins Spheniscus humboldti in Peru and Chile to help identify conservation priorities [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) is a threatened species endemic to the Humboldt current system along the coasts of Peru and Chile. The species faces numerous and significant threats contributing to its declining population among which one of ...

Relative abundance and distribution of fisheries influence risk of seabird bycatch. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractFisheries 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), which intends to ban discards through the landing obligation of all catches, may force ...

Endangered Species Research, 2023 Many seabird populations are declining, with fisheries bycatch as one of the greatest threats. Explicit risk criteria should be used to identify whether bycatch is a problem for particular species and fisheries, but these are often poorly defined.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of light streamer tori-lines and characteristics of bait attacks by seabirds in the western North Pacific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 To improve the effectiveness of tori-lines it is necessary to evaluate the ability of tori-lines to mitigate seabird bycatch and determine what kind of seabird species gather during line settings, attack the bait and are incidentally caught. We conducted

Advances in Scale Assessment of Seabird Bycatch: A New Methodological Framework
Diversity, 2023 This paper presents a methodology for indirectly estimating the scale of seabird bycatch using existing data. The study focuses on five key species of ducks that winter in the Polish waters of the Baltic Sea and are highly susceptible to bycatch: Long ...

Seabird bycatch in a sardine purse seine fishery
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2020 Abstract Limited understanding of seabird bycatch in purse seine fisheries has been highlighted as a key information gap in assessments of seabird bycatch in fisheries globally. This study documents the bycatch of breeding flesh-footed shearwaters (Ardenna carneipes) in a sardine purse seine fishery on the southern coast of Western ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015 With diminishing seabird populations and little knowledge on incidental bycatch in fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic, this study aimed to screen seabird bycatch in Norwegian coastal fisheries in 2009. The purpose was to 1) quantify magnitude of seabird
