Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011 (2013, methodology): “…(1) the large-scale mortality of marine mammals in other types of fishing gear besides gillnets (e.g. trawls, purse seines, fish traps, longlines) (Read et al. 2006); (2) the large-scale but poorly documented mortality of marine mammals in non-industrial fisheries, i.e. in what are usually…”

Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “…megafauna is becoming increasingly crucial in light of both historical and ongoing anthropogenic changes to both their populations and those of their prey and predators (e.g. Lewison et al. 2004, Estes 2006, Read et al. 2006, Heithaus et al. 2008, 2010, Ferretti et al. 2010, Roman et al. 2014).”
Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “…incentive-based approaches The marine mammal conservation science community has historically focussed on documenting the status of, and threats to, various taxa (Read et al. 2006, Avila et al. 2018) and recommending potential regulatory or management solutions to the many conservation concerns.”
Spatio-temporal analysis of cetacean strandings and bycatch in a UK fisheries hotspot (2008, background): “Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals are estimated to be captured every year, and this is thought to be having signiWcant eVects on the demography of many populations of cetaceans ( Read et al. 2006; Karamanlidis et al. in press).”

Social and Behavioural Factors in Cetacean Responses to Overexploitation: Are Odontocetes Less “Resilient” Than Mysticetes? (2012, background): “In many areas, where monitored, bycatch in fisheries exceeds sustainable limits for dolphins, porpoises, and small whales, but many if not most regions of the world lack adequate monitoring [114].”
