LEDs don’t deter sea duck mortalities gill nets in the Baltic

Click here to download the paper links. Abstract ‘Bycatch is a cause of mortality among marine mammals, sea turtles, fish and birds. For some species this mortality may be sufficient to cause population declines. The Baltic Sea is a global ‘hotspot’ for bird bycatch in gillnet fisheries and is globally important for wintering sea ducks, […]

LEDs have a massive effect on reducing bycatch in fisheries

Marine , News

Gillnet fisheries have a notoriously high bycatch rate and so this research may have profound implications for reducing that. An illuminating idea to reduce bycatch in the Peruvian small-scale gillnet fishery Abstract Found in the coastal waters of all continents, gillnets are the largest component of small-scale fisheries for many countries. Numerous studies show that […]
