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,
