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 …

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 …

Natural and man-made structural materials perform similar functions such as structural
support or protection. Therefore they rely on the same types of properties: strength …

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” …

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

Abstract Stocks of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Baltic Sea, Kattegat and Skagerrak (N.
Europe) have been strongly exploited for decades bringing them into an enduringly …

Abstract The European Commission landing obligation, including species-specific “high
survival” exemptions, has established a need for accurate discard survival estimates. This …

Under the “high survival” exemption of the European landing obligation or discard ban,
monitoring vitality and survival of European flatfish becomes relevant to a discard-intensive …
