• Precision in bycatch estimates: the case of tuna purse-seine fisheries in the Indian Ocean (2012, background): “Bycatch and discard issues have received increasing attention in recent decades (Ye et al., 2000; Soykan et al., 2008), # 2012 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.”
• Impacts of fisheries bycatch on marine turtle populations worldwide: toward conservation and research priorities (2013, background): “Minimizing bycatch, or the unintended capture of non-target organisms during fisheries operations (Hall et al. 2000, Soykan et al. 2008), is a key component of sustainable fisheries management that maintains marine biodiversity (Veitch et al. 2012).”
• Addressing fisheries bycatch in a changing world (2015, background): “Connecting specific fisheries or gear types to these consequences can be particularly important to support legal and other conservation initiatives, as well as linking recoveries to mitigation practices (Soykan et al., 2008).”
• Freshwater Commercial Bycatch: An Understated Conservation Problem (2011, background): “If this claim is valid, then it is logical to suggest that bycatch of fish, bird, mammal, and reptile species may be commonplace, given the evidence from marine fisheries (Soykan et al. 2008).”
• Reducing green turtle bycatch in small-scale fisheries using illuminated gillnets: the cost of saving a sea turtle (2016, background): “The unintentional take of species or bycatch (Hall et al. 2000) in industrial and small-scale fisheries is a major threat to many marine taxa such as seabirds, sea turtles and marine mammals (Peckham et al. 2007, Soykan et al. 2008, Gilman et al. 2010, Mangel et al. 2010, Anderson et al. 2011).”
• Looking beyond the mortality of bycatch: sublethal effects of incidental capture on marine animals (2014, unknown): “Particularly over the last two decades, this issue has come to the forefront both in fisheries management (Crowder and Murawski, 1998; Gilman, 2011) and in conservation science (Lewison et al., 2004a; Soykan et al., 2008).”
• Threats to seabirds: A global assessment (2019, background): “Although the average impacts (scope and severity) of large and smallscale fisheries seem to be similar, impacts from small-scale fisheries are generally less well-known (Lewison et al., 2004; Chuenpagdee et al., 2006; Soykan et al., 2008).”
