• Circle hook effectiveness for the mitigation of sea turtle bycatch and capture of target species in a Brazilian pelagic longline fishery (2010, background): “In the north-west Pacific and Australia there were negligible differences between blue shark captures with circle and tuna hooks (Yokota et al., 2006; Ward et al., 2009), and in Hawaii there was a significant 36% decrease in shark captures between pre- and postregulations (Gilman et al.”
• An overview of historical changes in the fishing gear and practices of pelagic longliners, with particular reference to Japan’s Pacific fleet (2007, background): “Poulsen (2004), Bolten and Bjorndal (2005), Watson et al. (2005), Kerstetter and Graves (2006), Yokota et al. (2006)”
• Capture time, size and hooking mortality of bottom longline-caught sharks (2010, background): “Bigger sandbar sharks, having a larger gape, could also be more susceptible to being hooked in the alimentary canal rather than the mouth which has been shown to increase mortality (Yokota et al., 2006).”
• Reducing sea turtle interactions in the Hawaii-based longline swordfish fishery (2007, background): “For instance, there is growing understanding of the significant effect hook and bait types have on shark catch rates (Bolten and Bjorndal, 2002, 2003; Watson et al., 2005; Yokota et al., 2006 ).”
• Estimating the odds of survival and identifying mitigation opportunities for common bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries (2009, background): “…has focused on differences in catch rates and mortality levels – both at haulback and post-release mortality estimated from injury type and release condition – between straight-shank (J-hooks or Japanese tuna hooks) and circle hooks (e.g., Watson et al., 2005; Yokota et al., 2006; Read, 2007).”
