• The incidental catch of seabirds in gillnet fisheries: A global review (2013, background): “The cumulative estimate of bird bycatch in gillnets likely exceeds seabird mortality in longline fisheries, which was estimated to be at least 160,000, and potentially over 320,000, birds per year (Anderson et al., 2011).”
• Evaluating effectiveness of time/area closures, quotas/caps, and fleet communications to reduce fisheries bycatch (2014, background): “Highly migratory species, such as sea turtles, seabirds, marine mammals, and pelagic fish species, are susceptible to incidental catch in a large number of fisheries using a variety of fishing gears (Hall et al., 2000; Tuck et al., 2003; Lewison et al., 2004; Read et al., 2006; Anderson et al., 2011”
• Potential consequences of discard reform for seabird communities (2013, neutral): “The attraction of seabirds to baited hooks in longline fisheries has long been known to be a major cause of seabird mortality – global estimates of >160,000 killed each year (Anderson et al. 2011).”
• Migratory marine species: their status, threats and conservation management needs (2014, background): “For MMS high mortality rates causing population level impacts have been reported for seabirds (Anderson et al., 2011; Zydelis et al., 2013), sea turtles (Lewison et al.”
• Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds (2018, background): “For example, regulations that reduce or eliminate the incidental mortality (bycatch) of seabirds in industrial or artisanal fishing operations [11,24,25], or regulations that limit the extraction of food resources [26,27], can be implemented across all spatial scales and may therefore mitigate key t”
• A comprehensive large‐scale assessment of fisheries bycatch risk to threatened seabird populations (2019, background): “Many species are wide ranging, bringing them into contact with a broad range of fishing gears and fleets in national and international waters (Anderson et al., 2011; BirdLife, 2004; Lewison et al., 2014).”
• Assessing the location and stability of foraging hotspots for pelagic seabirds: An approach to identify marine Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Spain (2012, background): “But other serious threats can be handled more easily, particularly seabird bycatch (Anderson et al., 2011; Karpouzi et al., 2007).”
• Individual specialization on fishery discards by lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus) (2015, neutral): “For many species, discards are a valuable resource, being both easilyaccessibleandrelativelyhighincaloricvalueandarethusgen-erallyconsideredbeneficialforseabirdspecies(Furness et al. , 1988; Garthe et al. , 2006; Anderson et al. , 2011).”
