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.

Prioritizing Shark, Ray, and Chimaera Conservation in Rapidly Changing Polar Waters
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Polar sharks, rays, and chimaeras face growing pressures from changing sea‐ice conditions, expanding fisheries, and limited protection. Our assessment highlights where critical habitats occur and how Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) can support more targeted conservation and fisheries management across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Understanding and mitigating seabird bycatch in the South African pelagic longline fishery [PDF]
, 2017 Seabirds are considered one of the most threatened groups of birds in the world. They face additional mortality both on their breeding islands from introduced predators and at sea by fishing fleets, as fisheries bycatch, as well as other human impacts ...

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities
Scientia Marina, 2003 Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Predicting Effort and Protected Species Bycatch Under an Effort Limit or Take Caps [PDF]
Many production processes feature joint production of a desirable output with an undesirable byproduct. Producers and consumers of the desirable output mutually benefit at the expense of non-consumers, who bear external damage costs imposed by production

Compensatory Mitigation: An Interim Solution to Seabird Bycatch in Fisheries?
The concept of compensatory mitigation is well established as an approach to environmental management. In the past, mitigation programs have been used to conserve wetlands affected by development, and is proposed as a cost-effective approach to ...
