- Conservation of the vaquita Phocoena sinus (2006, methodology): “Two alternative estimates of annual vaquita mortality were produced: 84 (95% CI 14–155) using only the data collected by observers, and 39 (95% CI 14–93) using the combined data from observers and fisherman interviews (D’Agrosa et al., 2000).”
- Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, result): “7% of total catch in aggregate) (Kelleher, 2005), but recent studies suggest that wide variation in bycatch rates may exist, with some small-scale fisheries having levels of discards that have the potential to extirpate some populations of megafauna (D’agrosa et al., 2000; Voges, 2005; Peckham et al”
- GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “An example of ecological extinction is the vaquita (Phocoena sinus), a small porpoise that lives in the upper Gulf of California whose abundance has been reduced to just a few hundred and is still decreasing (80).”
- Small cetacean captures in Peruvian artisanal fisheries: High despite protective legislation (2010, background): “, 2008) and those working in coastal seas (D’Agrosa et al., 2000; Slooten, 2007).”
- Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011 (2013, unknown): “The resulting estimate of 39 yr−1 continues to be used as the ‘best’ estimate (D’Agrosa et al. 1995, 2000) in spite of the considerable changes that have taken place in fishing effort and management.”
