Seabirds are vulnerable to bycatch in longline fisheries but for most species the impacts are
largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, studies can estimate bycatch directly …

Accounting for uncertainty is essential for precautionary approaches to managing seabird
bycatch in commercial fisheries. However, there is no existing mechanism to explicitly …

Protected species bycatch can be rare, making it difficult for fishery managers to develop
unbiased estimates of fishing-induced mortality. To address this problem, we use Bayesian …

Developing a typology of heterogeneous fishing practices through the use of métier analysis
is a useful step in understanding the dynamics of fishing fleets and enabling effective …

The speartooth shark Glyphis glyphis is a Critically Endangered whaler shark known from a
few tropical river systems in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. There is limited …

Efforts to assess and manage mixed fisheries started a shift from monospecific to
multispecies approaches in European countries; this transition, however, is still far from …

Developing unbiased estimates of incidental bycatch poses a challenge for species where
fishing-induced mortality is a rare occurrence. Expanding rare mortality events using ratio …

Predicting the biological impacts of new or expanding fisheries presents challenges due to
limited data, high variability in catch rates, and the often low frequency of bycatch events …

Many of the world's shark populations are in decline due to overexploitation and habitat loss.
A better understanding of their population status, distribution and habitat requirements is …

Numerous human activities directly and indirectly threaten marine biodiversity and
ecosystems, but fishing is a primary threat directly driving the decline of many marine …
