Salmon fisheries in western Alaska are collapsing. We need quality information yesterday. #salmon #bycatch #research

There are about 240 gillnet commercial licences on the east coast, with about half of those in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.#Gillnets are placed at the mouths of creeks to catch seafood. Conservationists say the nets are killing endangered animals

RT @ICES_ASC: 🎣 The latest themed set in #IJMS highlights the challenges of reducing bycatch, urging behavioural changes from fishers, policy-makers, scientists, institutions, and processes to improve #bycatch #reduction #methods.

While government has set a "zero-bycatch target" for commercial fishing, the industry has until 2050 to comply.

Andrea Vance on the terrible "bycatch" of endangered species. But only the ones which are reported because the cameras on boats initiative has been repeated delayed by industry lobbyists and NZ First.

An excellent article in #Politico about the problems around the Alaska #groundfish factory trawlers (for Pollock and Sole) and the associated #bycatch of at-risk fish stocks such as Halibut, crab and salmon being implicated in the multi-species population collapses. Good discussion about the politics, history, economics and lack of Indigenous representation in Alaskan fish stocks.

Okay I know that I shouldn't be buying mahi-mahi due to #bycatch but I already have a bunch in my freezer. I typically cook it coated in dry spices on the stovetop in oil and butter but I want to reproduce a dish I had at a Cuban restaurant many years ago. As I remember it it was mahi cooked in mango juice or something, it wasn't mango salsa. I think that they made a paste or something with the fruit and then cooked the fish in it. Any ideas/suggestions?

Conservation behaviour. Many shark and ray species use electroreceptors (ampullae of Lorenzini) to detect minute electric activities in their preys. Field experiments show that bycatches decrease when longlines are equipped with electrical deterrent devices.

To avoid #porpoises 🐬 & diving ducks 🦆 #bycatch in the Eckernförde bay 🇩🇪, this #EMFF funded project developed special tools to alert animals of the presence of fishing nets. Fishers in the region voluntarily joined the programme & help protect Nature.
