We assess the status of 2 dolphin stocks affected by purse-seine fishing in the eastern topical Pacific and evaluate hypotheses for their lack of recovery. We use Bayesian methods and fit generalized models of logistic population growth to abundance estimates for northeastern offshore spotted dolphins Stenella attenuata attenuata and eastern spinner dolphins Stenella longirostris orientalis. In...

Research surveys attempting to use acoustic devices (i.e. echo sounders and sonar) to avoid bycatch and STFO are significantly hindered by the lack of any way to accurately verify what is actually under their vessel and being recorded on their instruments. Purse seine fishermen have a distinct advantage as they can refine catch estimates with every successful set and no doubt become quite profi...

The fee system involves future landings of the Reduction Fishery. This action’s intent is to permanently reduce the most fishing capacity at the least cost and establish the fee system. DATES...
