• The Tuna 'Commodity Frontier': Business Strategies and Environment in the Industrial Tuna Fisheries of the Western Indian Ocean (2012, background): “…tuna populations by diverting fish from areas with rich foraging conditions (e.g. near natural logs) and attracting them to areas with FADs, but less favourable foraging conditions, leading to a deterioration in population health (Marsac et al. 2000; Hallier and Gaertner 2008; Fauvel et al. 2009).”
• Spatial management of Indian Ocean tropical tuna fisheries: potential and perspectives (2014, background): “If this program can be generalized to include all purseseiners worldwide, this would be a major step in addressing concerns regarding potential FAD-induced ecological traps (Hallier and Gaertner, 2008), ghost fishing (Franco et al., 2009) and uncontrolled fishing effort.”
• The past, present and future use of drifting fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the Indian Ocean (2014, background): “Given these possible explanations for the association of tunas with floating objects there is concern that the deployment of large numbers of FADs in the pelagic ocean could change the natural environment of tunas, a theory known as the ‘ecological trap hypothesis’ [25,26].”
• 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, background): “The potential effects of such habitat modification on the behaviour and biology of tunas have been grouped under the ‘ecological trap’ hypothesis (Marsac et al. 2000; Hallier and Gaertner 2008).”
