• Threats to seabirds: A global assessment (2019, background): “…the causes of declines of specific groups, e.g. albatrosses (Phillips et al., 2016), petrels (Rodríguez et al., 2019), penguins (Borboroglu and Boersma, 2013; Trathan et al., 2015), or on the impact of a single threat, e.g. longline or gillnet bycatch (Anderson et al., 2011; Žydelis et al., 2009).”
• Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, background): “, 2007), marine mammals (Mangel, 1993), seabirds (Zydelis et al., 2009), skates (Brander, 1981; Casey and Myers, 1998), corals (Anderson and Clark, 2003), and entire marine ecosystems (Dayton et al.”
• Seabird conservation status, threats and priority actions: a global assessment (2012, background): “The absence of bycatch from the top 10 coastal threats, however, may simply reflect the fact that the impacts of inshore/coastal gillnets and of artisanal fishing are almost completely undocumented, although likely widespread and important (Zydelis et al. 2009).”
• The incidental catch of seabirds in gillnet fisheries: A global review (2013, background): “Surprisingly, the global magnitude and significance of seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries remain largely unknown (Robins, 1991; Žydelis et al., 2009).”
• Waterbird Populations and Pressures in the Baltic Sea (2011, background): “2009), and this species has already been identified as potentially vulnerable to additive mortality originating from bycatch, hunting and oil pollution (Žydelis et al. 2009).”
