operational interactions. Potential consequences of operational interaction include …

In an ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) framework of the tuna purse-
seine fishery, the assessment of target species, but also that of bycatch species, is essential …

Tropical tuna purse‐seine fisheries spatially co‐occur with various megafauna species, such
as whale sharks, dolphins and baleen whales in all oceans of the world. Here, we analyzed …

Despite bycatch of elasmobranch (sharks and rays) being a major concern in most fisheries
worldwide, there is a lack of knowledge on their spatio-temporal species distribution, biology …

By‐catch is the most significant direct threat marine megafauna face at the global scale.
However, the magnitude and spatial patterns of megafauna by‐catch are still poorly …

Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due
to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from …
