The history of global longline fishing illustrates the role of new technologies (eg vessel
innovations, freezers, fishing gear), the expansion of fishing grounds, and the operational …

Abstract The Rio Grande Rise is an extensive seamount region in the South-western
Atlantic, with potential for deep-sea mining activities in the future. Such activities pose …

Incidental mortality (bycatch) in fisheries remains the greatest threat to many large marine
vertebrates and is a major barrier to fisheries sustainability. Robust assessments of bycatch …

Growing concerns have been raised about incidental capture of seabirds in various
fisheries. Here, studies testing measures to prevent seabird bycatch in longline, trawl and …

Given the major ongoing influence of environmental change on the oceans, there is a need
to understand and predict the future distributions of marine species in order to plan …

Bycatch in pelagic longline fleets remains a considerable source of mortality for threatened
seabirds. Despite efforts to implement mitigation measures, the effectiveness of their …

Circle hooks have been promoted as an alternative to traditional J-hooks in pelagic longline
fisheries to minimize bycatch mortality and injury to sea turtles and other marine wildlife. We …

Fisheries have major impacts on seabirds, both by changing food availability and by causing
direct mortality of birds during trawling and longline setting. However, little is known about …

The mortality of seabirds in fisheries has had a serious negative impact on many seabird
populations, yet the extent of fishery‐derived seabird mortality in pelagic longline fisheries …

Fisheries can have profound impacts on the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems
and affect seabird populations. For seabirds, impacts can include direct mortality in fishing …
