Developing visual deterrents to reduce sea turtle bycatch in gill net fisheries
Visual cues play important roles in sea turtle foraging behavior and likely influence their interactions with fishing gear. Altering these cues may be a useful strategy to reduce the incidental catch of sea turtles in various fisheries. We examined the potential effectiveness of 3 visual cues — shark shapes placed along the length of the gill net, illumination of nets by LED lights, and nets il...
متن کاملDeveloping ultraviolet illumination of gillnets as a method to reduce sea turtle bycatch
Fisheries bycatch of marine animals has been linked to population declines of multiple species, including many sea turtles. Altering the visual cues associated with fishing gear may reduce sea turtle bycatch. We examined the effectiveness of illuminating gillnets with ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes for reducing green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) interactions. We found that the mean sea t...
متن کاملA Novel Tool to Mitigate By-Catch Mortality of Baltic Seals in Coastal Fyke Net Fishery
Developing methods to reduce the incidental catch of non-target species is important, as by-catch mortality poses threats especially to large aquatic predators. We examined the effectiveness of a novel device, a "seal sock", in mitigating the by-catch mortality of seals in coastal fyke net fisheries in the Baltic Sea. The seal sock developed and tested in this study was a cylindrical net attach...
متن کاملIdentification and catch composition of Moshta set net in Hormozgan Province
Moshta (Hadrah in Arabic language) is an intertidal fixed stake trap which is one of the oldest types of fishing gear in the countries of the Persian Gulf including the southern coast of Iran. The detailed data on the mass caught by Moshta in terms of species and quantity (tons/year) in periods of 2007-2010 and 2013-2017 of Hormozgan Province were collected from the Iranian fisheries organizati...
متن کاملStudy on the fishing performance of an alternative tubular-type pot for the common octopus, Octopus minor, in Korean coastal waters
We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...
