Modelling demography and extinction risk in the endangered Balearic shearwater (2004, background): “…sources of adult mortality are also the main conservation concern for most seabirds throughout the world: at breeding sites, alien carnivores, and at feeding grounds, by-catch on fishing gears (mainly long lines) (Weimerskirch et al., 1997; Brothers et al., 1999; Tasker et al., 2000; Gilman, 2001).”
Changes in the structure and function of the North Sea fish foodweb, 1973–2000, and the impacts of fishing and climate (2005, background): “Tasker et al. (2000) estimated that at least 1.0 million tonnes y 1 of fish and offal are discarded from North Sea fisheries.”
Overlap between vulnerable top predators and fisheries in the Benguela upwelling system: implications for marine protected areas (2009, background): “…a critical factor in determining resource-use overlap between top predators and fisheries (e.g. Reid et al. 2004), results from studies that attempted to estimate the impact of competition between seabirds and fisheries have often been contradictory (see Tasker et al. 2000 and references therein).”
Factors Affecting the Vulnerability to Angling of Nesting Male Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass (2004, neutral): “…influence populations at both a phenotypic and genetic level (Sheridan 1995; Law 2000), often having impacts extending beyond the target species (Tasker et al. 2000; Kaiser and de Groot 2000), and negative population-level changes can occur as a result of the harvest of the largest spawning…”
Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities (2003, background): “Monofilament gillnets represent a serious hazard for pursuit-diving seabirds (King, 1984; Tasker et al., 2000).”
Estimating Collateral Mortality from Towed Fishing Gear (2006, background): “1991; Jones 1992) and interactions with predators (Thompson 1992; Broadhurst 1998; Tasker et al. 2000), this review is restricted to only those available quantitative estimates of unaccounted fishing mortality.”
Mercury levels in seabirds and their fish prey at the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean): the role of trawler discards as a source of contamination (2002, background): “Our findings should be taken into account when using feathers to study historical and geographical patterns of mercury pollution (e.g. Furness 1993), as the consumption of discards is a relatively new phenomenon that could differ in extent between populations (see Tasker et al. 2000).”
Local depletion by a fishery can affect seabird foraging (2012, background): “Direct competition between fisheries and seabirds for fish prey is another type of interaction that has been suspected to influence seabird populations in a number of cases (e.g. Tasker et al. 2000; Furness & Tasker 2000; Furness 2006).”
Diet studies of seabirds: a review and recommendations (2007, background): “Another major concern is the reduction in food availability to seabirds that may result from climate change or fisheries (Tasker et al., 2000; Furness 2002, 2003; Wanless et al., 2007).”
Management implications of interactions between fisheries and sandeel-dependent seabirds and seals in the North Sea (2002, background): “The other major industrial fishery is for Norway pout, Trisopterus esmarkii, but Norway pout is either not eaten or forms only a tiny part of the diet of seabirds and seals in the North Sea (Hammond et al., 1994; Furness and Tasker, 1997; ICES, 1997; Brown and Pierce, 1998; Tasker et al., 2000).”
Disturbance to a foraging seabird by sea-based tourism: Implications for reserve management in marine protected areas (2011, background): “fishing discards as a food source) outcomes (Tasker et al., 2000).”
Bycatch of Marine Mammals in U.S. and Global Fisheries (2006, background): “Several species of albatrosses and sea turtles face extinction from unsustainable bycatch in fisheries (NRC 1990; Tasker et al. 2000).”
The conservation status and priorities for albatrosses and large petrels (2016, background): “High rates of seabird bycatch were subsequently confirmed in a wide range of longlinefisheries (Brothers et al., 1999b; Gales, 1998; Tasker et al., 2000).”
Changes in Canadian seabird populations and ecology since 1970 in relation to changes in oceanography and food webs (2009, background): “…al. 1984; Monaghan et al. 1989; Hatch and Sanger 1992; Bertram and Kaiser 1993; Ainley et al. 1995; Montevecchi and Myers 1996; Bryant et al. 1999; Tasker et al. 2000; Hedd et al. 2002, 2006; Davoren and Montevecchi 2003; Baillie and Jones 2004; Deguchi et al. 2004; Frederiksen et al. 2005;…”
Bycatch in gillnet fisheries – An overlooked threat to waterbird populations (2009, background): “Seabirds get hooked on longlines, become entangled in gillnets, collide with trawler cables, and become trapped in trawl nets and fish traps (Tasker et al., 2000).”
Seasonal changes in the diet of a critically endangered seabird and the importance of trawling discards (2009, methodology): “Lipids were extracted using the methods of Smedes (1999) .”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Association of seabirds with fisheries can affect breeding success, species interactions, and distribution (Tasker et al. 2000; Furness 2003; Votier et al. 2004; González-Zevallos & Yorio 2006).”
