The history of global longline fishing illustrates the role of new technologies (eg vessel
innovations, freezers, fishing gear), the expansion of fishing grounds, and the operational …

Bycatch in fisheries can have profound effects on the abundance of species with relatively
low resilience to increased mortality, can alter the evolutionary characteristics and …

While there have been recent improvements in reducing bycatch in many fisheries, bycatch
remains a threat for numerous species around the globe. Static spatial and temporal …

Fisheries bycatch is the foremost threat to the conservation of many marine species.
Evaluation of alternative bycatch management strategies can account for the relative …

Bycatch and mortality in fishing gear poses a conservation threat worldwide to many marine
species. Resource managers and conservation scientists face challenges in identifying …

Robust assessments of the effects of fishing require accounting for components of fishing
mortality, including post‐release fishing mortality (Fr). Random‐effects meta‐analysis …

We conducted a meta‐analysis of literature reporting on the use of circle hooks and J‐hooks
in pelagic longline fisheries. Our study included more data than previous meta‐analyses of …

Elasmobranch mortality in pelagic longline fisheries poses a risk to some populations, alters
the distribution of abundance between sympatric competitors, changing ecosystem structure …

Bycatch of marine megafauna by small-scale fisheries is of growing global concern. The
southeastern Pacific sustains extensive fisheries that are important sources of food and …

Monitoring and managing fisheries bycatch is increasingly recognized as a critical
component of robust fisheries management frameworks. This review, addressing this …
