Seasonal variation in seabird abundance and bycatch at artisanal bottom-set net fisheries in the southern Iberian Atlantic coast

Submitted by allykristan on

This study utilized onboard observations and fishermen interviews to investigate seabird seasonal abundance and interactions with artisanal bottom-set net fisheries off the southern-eastern coast of mainland Portugal between 2020 and 2022. 25 species of seabirds were recorded as bycatch, with lesser black-backed and Yellow-legged gulls

Fishery bycatch rates largely driven by variation in individual vessel behaviour

Submitted by allykristan on

The authors used observer data to investigate variations in threatened species bycatch among individual operators with varying performance levels from five industrial fisheries in Australia. High-target and low-bycatch vessels were found in all five fisheries amongst varying gear types, and individual vessels were significant predictors of interaction rates. The authors suggest that fleet-wide bycatch reduction controls would be complemented through the use of measures that focus on individual performance groups.

Does incidental fisheries bycatch in Canadian waters have population level impacts for northern fulmars breeding in Arctic Canada

Submitted by allykristan on

The authors performed multuple analyses to assess northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) bycatch and impacts from the Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) fishery in Arctic Canada. Results show that low to average levels of probable bycatch across fulmar populations will likely severely impede recovery or cause long-term declines of the northern fulmar populations in Arctic Canada, and that cumulative impacts of both southern and northern Canadian fisheries needed to be assessed for a more accurate understanding of the total impact.

Use of rapid assessments of fishery bycatch of Humboldt penguins Spheniscus humboldti in Peru and Chile to help identify conservation priorities

Submitted by allykristan on

The authors interviewed 779 fishers to assess the bycatch of Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) in small-scale surface and bottom gillnet and purse-seine fisheries in Peru and Chile. Results estimated 4,067 penguins were caught as bycatch in 2023 alone, with the highest rates associated with the following: gillnets, location of larger penguin colonies, larger mesh sizes, and certain target species (i.e.  corvina drum (Seriolella violacea) and Peruvian grunt (Anisotremus scapularis)).
