An Assessment of Sea Turtle, Marine Mammal and Seabird Bycatch in the Wider Caribbean Region
(2011)Sea turtles, marine mammals and sea birds are vulnerable to higher mortality rates as a direct function of incidental capture (bycatch) in marine fisheries. Their migratory behavior exposes them to multiple fishing gear ... -
Effects of Sea Surface Temperature on the Distribution of Short-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) in the Western North Atlantic Ocean

Evaluating Current Knowledge and Future Directions of Visual Cues as Bycatch Reduction Technologies in Passive Net Fisheries
(2019-04-26)Fisheries bycatch is consistently identified as a leading cause of population decline for many species of sea turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals. Many of these species rely primarily, or in part, on visual cues to perceive ... -
IDENTIFYING BYCATCH OF SHORT-FINNED PILOT WHALES (Globicephala macrorhynchus) IN A LONGLINE FISHERY: CEPHALOPOD IDENTIFICATION AND STABLE ISOTOPE REVIEW
(2016-04-29)Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) generally forage on cephalopods in the mesopelagic zone, sometimes diving to over 1000m in depth in pursuit of prey. However, pilot whales and several other species ... -
