Summary

This paper is a global assessment of marine mammal (cetacean, pinniped, sirenian, and marine mustelids) bycatch in gillnets and other entangling nets from 1990 to 2011. The authors found that at least 75% of odontocete species, 64% of mysticetes, 66% of pinnipeds, and all sirenian and marine mustelids have been recorded as gillnet bycatch over the past 20 years.
