Maria P. Dias,Rob W. Martin,Elizabeth J. Pearmain,Ian J. Burfield,Cleo Small,Richard A. Phillips,Oliver Yates,Ben Lascelles,Pablo García Borboroglu,Pablo García Borboroglu,John P. Croxall +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first objective quantitative assessment of the threats to all 359 species of seabirds, identify the main challenges facing them, and outline priority actions for their conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global seabird bycatch in longline fisheries
Orea R. J. Anderson,Cleo Small,John P. Croxall,Euan K. Dunn,Benedict J. Sullivan,Oliver Yates,Andrew D. Black +6 more
TL;DR: Those fisheries in which bycatch has been substantially reduced demonstrate that the problem of seabird bycatch could be reduced to negligible proportions by enforced implementation of appropriate best-practice mitigation devices and techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant reductions in mortality of threatened seabirds in a South African trawl fishery
TL;DR: In a recent study, this article showed that bird-scaring lines alone resulted in 73-95% lower mortality in the winter/discard strata (all seabirds: 0.56 birds per hour before, 0.15 birds per hours after, P' ǫ 95%) and annual fishing effort reduced by 50% from 2004-2005 to 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
At-sea trialling of the Hookpod: a ‘one-stop’ mitigation solution for seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries
B. J. Sullivan,B. Kibel,P. Kibel,Oliver Yates,Joanne M. Potts,B. Ingham,Andrés Domingo,Dimas Gianuca,Sebastian Jimenez,B. Lebepe,B. A. Maree,Tatiana Neves,F. Peppes,T. Rasehlomi,Augusto Silva-Costa,Ross M. Wanless +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of 18 at-sea trials conducted between 2011-2015 onboard pelagic longliners targeting tuna (Thunnus spp) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in South African, Brazilian and Australian waters, using a recently designed seabird bycatch mitigation device.
Seabird bycatch in chile: a synthesis of its impacts, and a review of strategies to contribute to the reduction of a global phenomenon

TL;DR: Following the successful reduction of seabird bycatch in the demersal longline fishery for Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides, with zero individuals caught during 2006, Chile is extending the PAN-AM/Chile to include other fisheries that use gear known to cause incidental mortality, such as trawl, purse seine, and gillnets.
