We used three gear types (standard North American design fyke net, 13-mm mesh hoop nets, and 25-mm mesh hoop nets) to compare the catch rates and size structure of panfish (Bluegill, Redear Sunfish, and White Crappie), total bycatch, effects of environmental factors on catch and bycatch,...
Any reduction of total allowable catches in the areas from which Clearwater sources seafood, or the reduction of stocks due to changes in the environment or the health of certain species, may have a material adverse effect on Clearwater 's financial condition and results of operations. 1897 ...
Bycatch in fisheries can have profound effects on the abundance of species with relatively low resilience to increased mortality, can alter the evolutionary characteristics and concomitant fitness of affected populations through heritable trait-based selective removals, and can alter ecosystem functions, stru...
Understanding long-term effects of trawling on DSE species composition and ecosystem dynamics is crucial for evaluating the ecological role of the studied areas and for shaping effective management strategies to protect biodiversity, especially of taxa of conservation concerns. Further studies are ...
The decision tool supports stakeholders to establish and meet objectives for managing the effects of fishing on vulnerable bycatch species. For convenience, we use ‘bycatch management’ and ‘bycatch mitigation’ to refer to interventions that affect the catchability and all sources of fishing mortalit...
The environment inhabited by this species is characterized by high salinity, low oxygen, low temperatures, and a richness of nutrients, which are characteristics associated with the Equatorial Subsurface Water (ESSW; [31,32]. Demographically, the species demonstrates spatial differences in its ...
Historical ecology is used by researchers to help understand how past interactions between people and their environment have shaped contemporary conditions. Though recent science has responded to the many management challenges of the ocean, the lack of analysis and limited availability of archival data ...
we standardised the most optimal capture conditions ofCoryphaena sp. bycatch. This allowed us to delete those sets with structural absences. Many authors recommend the use of logistic regressions for evaluating the effects of environmental conditions and fishing practices on the probability of interactions...

Bycatch of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in groundfish trawls is an economically important case of this issue, both for its effects on the directed fishery for Pacific halibut and the constraints that it places on trawl fisheries in which retention of Pacific halibut is prohibited and...
