Three trap designs evaluated for a deepwater lionfish fishery

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
A deepwater (>40 m) fishery for invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) offers a potential means to control invasive lionfish densities and mitigate their impacts on reefs too deep for SCUBA removals. Trapping could provide a scalable solution—if an effective fishing gear with minimal environmental impacts could be permitted and adopted by ...

Why fishers end up in social-ecological traps: a case study of Swedish eel fisheries in the Baltic Sea

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2020
Unsustainable fishing can be surprisingly persistent despite devastating social, economic, and ecological consequences. Sustainability science literature suggests that the persistence of unsustainable fisheries can be understood as a social-ecological ...
