Marine mammal interactions with fisheries, such as bycatch and depredation, are a common
occurrence across commercial and small-scale fisheries. We conducted a systematic review …

Several populations of odontocete cetaceans, including at least 19 species, have modified
their behavior and adapted to foraging in association with trawlers. We review information …

By-catch is one of the most significant issues affecting fisheries management today.
Incidental mortality of species which are long-lived and have low reproductive rates is a …

1. The intensive exploitation of fish communities often leads to substantial reductions in the
abundance of target species, with ramifications for the structure and stability of the …

Interactions between cetaceans and fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea are probably as old
as the first human attempts to catch fish with a net. Countless leports and artefacts from the …

How the relative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on the natural environment vary
between different taxonomic groups, habitats, and geographic regions is increasingly well …

Death in fishing gear of non-target species (called 'bycatch') is a major concern for marine
wildlife, and mostly worrying for long-lived species like cetaceans, considering their …

The accidental capture of large animals such as sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and
dolphins in pelagic trawler fisheries remains controversial because it threatens biological …

Rates of cetacean by-catch were investigated in Galician waters (NW Spain) using a
combination of observer trips on fishing vessels, a carcase recovery scheme and an …

Marine vertebrate strandings data can provide insights into the long-term dynamics of
cetacean populations, and the threats they face. We investigate whether the spatio-temporal …
