Drifting FADs used in tuna fisheries: an ecological trap? (2000, background): “Drifting FAD fishing is now developed wotldwide and is catching yeatly over one million tons of runas (Fonteneau et al., 2000).”
Fish aggregation device (FAD) research: gaps in current knowledge and future directions for ecological studies (2004, background): “‘Recruitment overfishing’ leading to a reduction of the spawning stock is believed to have occurred to skipjack tuna in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and may be a long-term effect of sustained use of drifting FADs in other areas of the world (Fonteneau et al., 2000b).”
FAD: Fish Aggregating Device or Fish Attracting Device? A new analysis of yellowfin tuna movements around floating objects (2004, background): “This phenomenon is of such great importance that, nowadays, more than half of the world catch of tropical tuna is made in the neighbourhood of such objects (Fonteneau et al. 2000).”
Is it good or bad to fish with FADs? What are the real impacts of the use of drifting FADs on pelagic marine ecosystems? (2013, methodology): “…techniques (see Ben-Yami 1994 and Hall 1998 for details), and the main difference being that object-associated schools are usually less mobile and therefore easier to set on (which explains the higher catch rates on this type of sets, Fonteneau et al. 2000; Suzuki et al. 2003; Miyake et al. 2010).”
Behavior of yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) and bigeye (T. obesus) tuna in a network of fish aggregating devices (FADs) (2007, background): “Finally, determining the influence of drifting FADs on the spatial behavior of tuna should be a priority in the future as the majority of tropical tuna are currently caught in association with such floating objects in the three tropical oceans (Fonteneau et al. 2000).”
Evolution and current state of the technology of echo-sounder buoys used by Spanish tropical tuna purse seiners in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans (2014, background): “…per recruitment of target tuna species, increased by-catch nd perturbation of the pelagic ecosystem balance, and alteration f the normal movements of the species associated with DFADs Bromhead et al., 2003; Fonteneau et al., 2000; Morgan, 2011). owever, these effects are difficult to estimate.”
Review of fish associative behaviour: Toward a generalisation of the meeting point hypothesis (2000, background): “Tuna catches by purse seiners working around floating objects reached one million tons in 1998 and in the three major oceans these catches account for around half of the total catches (Fonteneau et al., 2000a; Figure 1).”
The past, present and future use of drifting fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the Indian Ocean (2014, background): “The known location of FADs is an important information in determining where a skipper will choose to fish and in general a larger number of monitored FADs improves both search efficiency and the fishing capacity [2].”
Bycatch of the European purse seine tuna fishery in the Atlantic Ocean for the 2003-2007 period (2010, background): “…that the fishing mode substantially affects the species composition and magnitude of the bycatch: FAD-associated fishing by tuna purse seine fisheries leads to greater amounts of bycatch and discard than free school fishing (Ariz et al. 1999; Hallier and Parajua 1999; Fonteneau et al. 2000).”
Precision in bycatch estimates: the case of tuna purse-seine fisheries in the Indian Ocean (2012, background): “Fish-aggregated-device (FAD)associated sets lead to a higher (about 90% of the total) bycatch and discard occurrence than free-swimming school sets (Fonteneau et al., 2000; Sánchez et al., 2007; Amandè et al., 2010).”
