Maximising the survival of bycatch discarded from commercial estuarine fishing gears in NSW
The mortalities and contributing parameters were estimated for key species discarded during commercial gillnetting (80-mm mesh) targeting dusky flathead Platycephalus fuscus in a southeastern Australian estuary. Bycatches (1470 individuals from 16 species over 11 deployments) were assessed for their immediate mortalities onboard the gillnetter, before subsamples (570 individuals from 11 species...
متن کاملShifting gears: assessing collateral impacts of fishing methods in US waters
the deployment of excessive levels of fishing effort – is one of the most pressing problems for fisheries around the world (Pauly et al. 2002; Myers and Worm 2003). While attempts to address this problem continue at a single-species level, an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management is necessary to understand the overall impacts of fishing (Dayton et al. 1995; Pitcher and Pauly 1998). I...
متن کاملSurvival Estimates of Bycatch Individuals Discarded from Bivalve Dredges
The fate of released bycatch is an issue of great interest for fisheries research and management. Survival experiments were carried out to assess the survival capacity of animals damaged and discarded during clam dredging operations. Three common bycatch species, two fish (Trachinus vipera; Dicologlossa cuneata) and one crab (Polybius henslowii), were collected during the sorting of catches fro...
متن کاملTemporal and Spatial Variations of Finfish Bycatch of Cutlassfish Trawl in Bushehr and Hormozgan Marine Waters, the Northern Persian Gulf
The spatial and temporal variations of finfish bycatch assemblage cutlassfish trawl were compared in two fishing areas (Hormozgan and Bushehr). Data were collected on board of commercial vessels in the fishing grounds of Trichiurus lepturus in Bushehr and Hormozgan marine waters between early May 2010 to late November, 2010. There was a significant difference in the bycatch assemblages bet...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of marine mammal, seabird, and sea turtle bycatch reveal taxa-specific and cumulative megafauna hotspots.
Recent research on ocean health has found large predator abundance to be a key element of ocean condition. Fisheries can impact large predator abundance directly through targeted capture and indirectly through incidental capture of nontarget species or bycatch. However, measures of the global nature of bycatch are lacking for air-breathing megafauna. We fill this knowledge gap and present a syn...
