This paper suggests guidelines for evaluating artificial light in bycatch reduction devices (BRL) using a standardized, collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. The purpose is to improve data consistence to support future meta-analyses and inter-study comparisons, and to highlight areas where further research is needed most urgently, as BRLs are a promising and rapidly moving area of bycatch mitigation.

The authors modeled 28 years of data to estimate the impact of entanglement on female North Atlantic right whale health, survival and reproduction. Results show that entangled whales were drastically more likely to experience negative health impacts, including declines in body condition and lower survival rates. Furthermore, whales in poor body condition were not reproductive- between 1994 and 2021, entanglements reduced the expected number of calves by 12.9% and the number of living females by 18.5%.

This letter briefly outlines actions taken by the five tuna regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) to reduce sea turtle bycatch in tuna and tuna-like fisheries. Recent initiatives include impact assessments, bycatch mitigation measures for pelagic fisheries, identification of sea turtle bycatch patterns in longline and perse seine tuna fisheries, and a joint tuna RFMO Bycatch Working Group meeting that took place in December 2019.
The authors compiled fishing effort data from a nearly 20 year period across 18 different longline, gillnet and purse seine fisheries in the eastern Pacific Ocean in order to assess/model vulnerability of leatherback sea turtles to fishing impacts under 70 different conservation management measure (CMM) scenarios. To do this, a new ecological risk assessment approach, the Ecological Assessment for the Sustainable Impacts of Fisheries (EASI-Fish), was used.
