Global Ecology and ConservationSeabird bycatch—particularly involving albatrosses and petrels—remains a significant conservation concern in pelagic longline fisheries. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three mitigation measures—bird-scaring lines (BSLs), weighted branch lines,

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1731-1738, October 2026.We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Assessing seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries using electronic monitoring
, 2020 The unintentional capture (bycatch) of seabirds in gillnet fisheries kills hundreds of thousands of individuals annually and is thought to threaten the conservation of entire populations.

Ecological IndicatorsMany seabird species are at risk, facing serious population declines due in part to bycatch in commercial fishing operations. However, due to limitations in bycatch data for many species, little is known about the spatio-temporal variations in bycatch ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The abundance of cetaceans in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) is estimated using spatial/temporal density modeling and conventional line‐transect approaches. Line‐transect data are analyzed from 10 ship‐based visual sighting surveys from 1986 to 2006 that include 281,000 km of survey effort in a 19.4 million km2 study area.

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

Highly Mobile Seabirds Reveal Areas of Conservation Importance Across the Atlantic Ocean
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Countries have committed to expanding the marine protected area (MPA) network to 30% of the world's ocean by 2030, more than tripling current coverage, and focusing on areas important for biodiversity. For such expansion to translate into effective conservation of marine biodiversity, it must rely on the best available knowledge.

Point estimates of seabird bycatch.
, 2019 Point estimates (± SE) of yearly incidental bycatch of seabird from 2006 to 2015 in the Norwegian small-vessel gillnet fishery. The estimates are based on catches from the reference fleet, excluding three extreme bycatch events in 2008, and scaled to all

Above Water Deterrents Reduce Auk Bycatch in Gillnet Fisheries off the United Kingdom
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries is a globally pervasive conservation issue, yet evidence for effective, scalable mitigation remains limited. In a gillnet fishery off the United Kingdom (1057 sets), we evaluated two above water deterrents (AWDs); “scarybird” kites (“kites” hereafter) and looming‐eyes buoys (LEBs) for reducing seabird ...

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