Genetic variation and evidence for population structure in eastern North Pacific false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) (2007, background): “The age and accumulation rate of scars in the Baird and Gorgone (2005) study is unknown, and the long-line fishery is closed within 50 nautical miles of the islands to protect monk seals and within 75 nautical miles in some areas to prevent gear conflicts with smaller fishing vessels (Carretta et…”
Movements and habitat use of satellite-tagged false killer whales around the main Hawaiian Islands (2010, background): “…from the insular population potentially move into areas where longline fishing occurs and thus could interact with the fishery, as suggested by high rates of dorsal fin disfigurements in comparison with other populations of small odontocetes (Baird & Gorgone 2005, T. Cullins unpubl. data).”
The looming crisis: interactions between marine mammals and fisheries (2008, background): “This behavior leads to entanglement (Baird and Gorgone 2005) and, occasionally, to mortality.”
