Catch,bycatch and discard information is important for the assessment and management of fisheries.Using Chinese pelagic tuna longline observer data from 2010 to 2018,we studied the catch composition in the Chinese pel...
The offshore Northern shrimp(Pandalus borealis)bottom trawl fishery in eastern Canada currently uses 22 and 28 mm bar spacing Nordmøre grids to limit bycatch from using small mesh codends.However,a recent rebound of j...

Bycatch poses a severe challenge to global fishery management.Although studies have focused on marine megafauna bycatch,research on relevant issues regarding invertebrates is limited,particularly for the threatened ho...
In response to concerns over the mortality of discards and other negative environmental impacts of otter trawling for penaeids,the utility of bottom-set gillnets deployed by artisanal vessels to target Penaeus monodon...

Grid systems separate fish species primarily through physical means:fish size and body shape.On Georges Bank off the northeast USA,many species of flounders are overfished,and their catch needs to be reduced.Flat-bodi...
This study was funded by Hunter Local Land Services and the NSW Department of Primary Industries,and would not have been possible without the assistance of Wallis Lake commercial fishers,and especially,Malcolm,Adrian and Danny.
In south-eastern Australia,the same baited,round traps(comprising 50–57-mm mesh netting)are used to target giant mud,Scylla serrata and blue swimmer crabs,Portunus armatus in spatially separated fisheries.Both fisher...
The issue of bycatch in the fisheries sector has been a major concern for the marine biologists over few decades in terms of conservation of marine eco-system and sustainability of the fisheries sector and marine biod...
