Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: Decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement (2015, background): “However, dramatic declines along the urban coast of Queensland are evident from catch per unit effort data in shark nets for bather protection along the Queensland coast from 1962 to 1999, and dugongs are impacted by multiple threats including incidental bycatch in fishing nets, loss of seagrass, ve”
Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “…deliberately targeted, where animals are the main objective for fishers, (2) nontargeted-deliberate, bycaught or stranded animals are recovered and killed, and (3) non-targeted salvaged acquisition, when an incidentally caught animal is used (Hall 1996, Marsh et al. 2011, Robards & Reeves 2011).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “Although dugongs in other locations exhibit diving and surfacing patterns that may result in similar confounds (Marsh et al. 2011), surfacing rates of dugongs in Shark Bay are high relative to our boat speed along transects (Wirsing et al. 2007a) and surfacing rates do not change significantly with…”
