Evaluating the potential effectiveness of compensatory mitigation strategies for marine bycatch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Conservationists are continually seeking new strategies to reverse population declines and safeguard against species extinctions. Here we evaluate the potential efficacy of a recently proposed approach to offset a major anthropogenic threat to many ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

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 ...

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Using the empirical Bayes method to estimate and evaluate bycatch rates of seabirds from individual fishing vessels [PDF]
, 2007 Minimizing bycatch of seabirds is a major goal of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. In Alaska waters, the bycatch (i.e., inadvertent catches) of seabirds has been an incidental result of demersal groundfish longline fishery operations. Notably,

Geographic assignment of seabirds to their origin: combining morphology, genetics and biogeochemical analyses [PDF]
, 2015 Longline fisheries, oil spills, and offshore wind farms are some of the major threats increasing seabird mortality at sea, but the impact of these threats on specific populations has been difficult to determine so far.

Les terres australes françaises, terrain d’expérimentation de la solidarité écologique
VertigO, 2022 Human-Wildlife coexistence, crystalizing trade-offs between socio-economic viability, food security of human populations and species conservation, has become a major societal and environmental challenge.

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.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.

Characteristics of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis Linnaeus in New Zealand waters : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2005 Current taxonomy of the white-chinned petrel suggests that all populations are similar enough to be a single global taxon, Procellaria aequinoctialis Linnaeus.
