We reviewed the literature concerning fish aggregation devices (FADs) to determine areas
of relative research deficiency. Using specific searches of the Aquatic Sciences and …

The use of drifting fish aggregating devices (FADs) has become the dominant practice in
tropical tuna purse seine fishing. However, just as FADs can increase fishing efficiency, their …

The use of fish aggregating devices (FAD s) by purse seine fisheries has come under
increasing criticism for its potential deleterious impacts on tuna stocks, for high levels of by …

Drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs) are human‐made floating objects widely used by
tropical tuna purse seine (PS) fisheries to increase catch of target species. However, dFAD …

This report provides a review of our knowledge of the bycatches, defined as discarded dead,
from the tropical tuna purse seine fisheries of the world. The major fishing grounds involved …

Overexploitation of bycatch and target species in marine capture fisheries is the most
widespread and direct driver of change and loss of global marine biodiversity. Bycatch in …

Associative behaviour is defined as the spatial relationship between an animal (or a group)
of a given species and another animal of another species, which is based on a decision by …

This study provides a historical overview of the use of drifting fish aggregating devices
(DFADs) in purse seine fisheries since the early 1990s, using global tuna fisheries datasets …

Purse seine fishing on fish aggregating devices (FADs) has expanded considerably during
the last 15 yr in tropical tuna purse seine fisheries, and FADs currently account for about …

Since the 1990s, massive use of drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs) to aggregate
tropical tunas has strongly modified global purse-seine fisheries. For the first time, a large …
