There is a need to better understand the survivorship of discarded fishes, both for
commercial stocks and species of conservation concern. Within European waters, the …

There is a widely recognized need to understand and reduce the incidental effects of marine
fishing on non-target animals. Previous research on marine bycatch has largely focused on …

Gillnets and traps often are considered to have fewer holistic environmental impacts than
active fishing gears. However, in addition to the targeted catches, gillnets and traps still …

Global discards of sharks greatly exceed reported landings, yet there are few estimates of
mortality after release. Based on more than 21 000 fisheries observer records and the …

Cryptic, not readily detectable, components of fishing mortality are not routinely accounted
for in fisheries management because of a lack of adequate data, and for some components …

Fisheries bycatch is the greatest current source of human-caused deaths of marine
mammals worldwide, with severe impacts on the health and viability of many populations …

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

Few studies have examined discard survival in beam trawl fisheries, especially in 4 m beam
trawl fisheries using chain mats and limited haul durations. This so-called “eurocutter” …

Discarding non‐target fish from commercial fisheries is controversial and has been a
persistent concern for fisheries managers globally. Discard management strategies typically …

Accounting for components of fishing mortality, including post-release mortality (F r), is
necessary for robust assessments of the effects of fishing. Forty-eight blue (Prionace glauca) …
