Pingers reduce cetaceans mortality bycatch in Portuguese trammel nets

Acoustic characterisation of bycatch mitigation pingers on shark control nets in Queensland, Australia

The Queensland Shark Control Program (QSCP) uses pingers to prevent marine mammal entanglement in shark control nets along public beaches, in Queensland, Australia. Acoustic emissions of Fumunda F3 (designed for humpback whales) and F10 pingers (designed for dolphins) were measured and characterised. The acoustic signals consisted of tones (3 and 10 kHz, respectively) and harmonic overtones emi...

Fishing Techniques to Reduce the Bycatch of Threatened Marine Animals

Methodology We attempted to document all available information on fishing techniques that have been used to reduce non-target wildlife species bycatch in world fisheries. Information on bycatch reduction methods is highly diffuse and for this review we consulted various sources including journal articles, unpublished government reports, and experts in the field. A number of reviews have examine...
