Fisheries bycatch is one of the biggest threats to seabird populations. Managers need to
identify where and when bycatch occurs and ensure effective action. In 1999, the Food and …

Despite growing support for ecosystem-based approaches, conservation is mostly
implemented at the species level. However, genetic differentiation exists within this …

Even though incidental captures in fisheries are one of the major threats to seabirds, bycatch
has been difficult to quantify and specific risk areas are rarely identified. The present study …
