This article summarizes cetacean strandings along the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea between 2010-2022; of a total 1,528 strandings, evidence of bycatch was present in 80 animals. The presence of strandings with signs of bycatch even during the seasonal bans on turbot fishing suggests that IUU fisheries may be operating.

This study assesses bycatch and depredation by sharksand odontocetes in the French Polynesian longline fishery between 2000 and 2018, and finds that less than 2% of the catch had been depredated, but shark bycatch was high (20,000 sharks annually, 0.5 shark every 1000 hooks). Conversely, odontocete bycatch was comparatively low (13 occurrences in 18 years), though reporting may have been inaccurate. This is important as there is a plan to double offshore fisheries production in the French Polynesia EEZ by 2027.

This is a meta-analysis that quantified the effects of 42 technical measures on the target catch and the bycatch of seabirds, elasmobranchs, marine mammals and sea turtles, evaluating which methods were most effective at mitigating bycatch of each fauna group. Overall, mitigation methods reduced bycatch while having no statistically significant effect on the target catch, and sensory-based measures (e.g. pingers, blue-dyed bait) generally outperformed physical-based measures (e.g. circle hook, larger mesh) in reducing bycatch.

This study analyzed Chinese pelagic tuna longline observer data from 2010 to 2018 to determine catch composition of Atlantic targeting bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), as well as the status and discard rate common bycatch species. A total of 55 species were observed as bycatch, and the most common was shark species. The catch composition of the bigeye tuna fishery varies significantly from that of bluefin tuna.
