Post‐Release Survival of the Pelagic Stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea, Bonaparte, 1832) in French Longline Fisheries in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 719-732, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bycatch remains a critical challenge in global fisheries, even when using selective gears such as longlines. In the French longline fishery targeting Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Lion, the common pelagic stingray (Pteroplatytrygon violacea) is the primary bycatch species.

Bycatch of marine mammals and seabirds: Occurrence and mitigation

, 2021
Gillnet fisheries are generally considered environment-friendly, causing limited bottom-impact and generating high-quality fish. Nevertheless, gillnets are also associated with high risks of bycatch of non-target animals, including seabirds and marine mammals. To fulfil Denmark’s obligations with regards to European legislations and other international

Maiden voyage into death: are fisheries affecting seabird juvenile survival during the first days at sea? [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
The study of juvenile migration behaviour of seabird species has been limited so far by the inability to track their movements during long time periods. Foraging and flying skills of young individuals are assumed to be inferior to those of adults, making

Management Implications of Mesopelagic Forage Fisheries for Bigeye Tuna Stocks

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 733-743, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Many large marine predators forage on mesopelagic fish stocks, including commercially valuable tunas. The mesopelagic is under increasing interest for commercial exploitation, given its large biomass with potential to supply fishmeal for aquaculture feed or fish oil.

Past and Future Shifts in Marine Species Distributions Across Two South American Large Marine Ecosystems

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To quantify temporal (Middle Holocene, historical and future) and spatial changes in habitat suitability for marine species in two South American Large Marine Ecosystems, and to evaluate the ecological consistency of long‐term Species Distribution Model projections using archaeological records as independent evidence of past species ...

Test of light emitting diodes (LED) as a possible bycatch mitigation measure in a gillnet fishery

Global Ecology and Conservation
Substantial seabird bycatch occurs in North Atlantic lumpfish fisheries, potentially impacting seabird populations and raising concerns about the fisheries’ sustainability. Despite increased efforts to address this issue, existing approaches have yielded

The incidental capture of seabirds by Spanish drifting longline fisheries in the western Mediterranean Sea

Scientia Marina, 2003
The western Mediterranean Sea is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline fleet, targeting swordfish (Xiphias gladius), bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and albacore (T. alalunga).

Comparing multiple criteria for species identification in two recently diverged seabirds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Correct species identification is a crucial issue in systematics with key implications for prioritising conservation effort. However, it can be particularly challenging in recently diverged species due to their strong similarity and relatedness.

Countdown to extinction: Role of invasive wild boars in the population dynamics of the Yelkouan shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan) on Port‐Cros Island

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Wild boars that have recently arrived in Port‐Cros National Park are reducing the reproductive success of Yelkouan shearwaters by destroying nests and predating on eggs and chicks. In the absence of measures to control the wild boar population, this would likely accelerate the decline of the Yelkouan shearwater population.

Bycatch-threatened seabirds disproportionally contribute to community trait composition across the world

Global Ecology and Conservation
Human pressures in the ocean are restructuring biological communities, driving non-random extinctions, and disrupting marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, fisheries bycatch, the incidental mortality of non-target species, is a major threat to ...
