It is presented a systematic literature review of artificial reef research, including 620 studies
throughout the world from 1962 to 2018. The primary focus of this study was to examine long …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Cryptic, not readily detectable, components of fishing mortality are not routinely accounted
for in fisheries management because of a lack of adequate data, and for some components …

In the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO), which accounts for over half of world
tuna production, purse seine effort and catch on floating objects have increased significantly …

In the open ocean, the movements and habitat use of large mobile predators are driven by
dynamic interactions between biological and physical variables and complex predator–prey …

Natural floating objects (FOBs) have always been a major component of the habitat of
pelagic species. Since the 1990s, the number of FOBs in the open ocean has increased …

Declines in absolute abundance and altered size distributions from size‐selective removals
of market species of pelagic apex predators in tuna fisheries alters evolutionary …

For centuries fishers have exploited the propensity for tuna to associate with floating objects,
yet the reasons and mechanisms behind this behavior remain unclear. The number of man …
