Quantifying fishing effort: a synthesis of current methods and their applications (2008, unknown): “2003a; Agnew and Kirkwood 2005) and to identify areas where deployed gear overlaps with known distribution of long-lived species such as birds, marine mammals and sea turtles (Caillouet et al. 1996; Lewison and Crowder 2003; Lewison et al. 2004).”
Sound, chemical, and light detection in sea turtles and pelagic fishes: sensory-based approaches to bycatch reduction in longline fisheries (2008, background): “Bycatch of sea turtles in longline gear has been implicated as a significant source of mortality for endangered leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea and loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and threatened olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea in the Pa”
Identification of high‐use habitat and threats to leatherback sea turtles in northern waters: new directions for conservation (2005, background): “The global decline of leatherbacks has also been largely attributed to incidental capture in fisheries (Spotila et al. 1996, 2000; Eckert & Sarti 1997; Lewison et al. 2004), with pelagic longlines proposed as a key threat (Spotila et al. 2000; Lewison et al. 2004 ).”
Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, background): “Bycatch in commercial fisheries can cause severe impacts to marine populations including sea turtles (Spotila et al., 2000; Lewison et al., 2004; Peckham et al., 2007), marine mammals (Mangel, 1993), seabirds (Zydelis et al.”
Impacts of fisheries bycatch on loggerhead turtles worldwide inferred from reproductive value analyses (2008, background): “Fisheries bycatch has been implicated in population declines of several species of sea turtles worldwide, including loggerheads (TEWG 2000; NMFS SEFSC 2001; Bolten 2003; Lewison, Freeman & Crowder 2003; Lewison, Crowder & Shaver 2004 ).”
Do circle hooks reduce the mortality of sea turtles in pelagic longlines? A review of recent experiments (2007, background): “Longlines are used to target many pelagic fish species throughout the world’s oceans and are responsible for most of the world’s swordfish (Xiphius gladius) catch and a large proportion of global tuna (Thunnus) catches (Lewison et al., 2004).”
IMPROVING THE PRECISION OF ESTIMATES OF THE FREQUENCY OF RARE EVENTS (2005, background): “1114 S pe c ia l Fe at u r e Key words: aggregation; Bayesian inference, coefficient of variation; estimators; precision; rare events; regression; sampling, stratification.”
Are green turtles globally endangered (2006, background): “Although interactions with coastal fishers may occur, large scale industrial by-catch from pelagic long-lines is less likely to cause a major impact upon this species, unlike the carnivorous leatherback and loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ) turtles (Lewison et al ., 2004).”
Estimates of sea turtle mortality from poaching and bycatch in Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur, Mexico (2006, background): “The high seas longline fishery in the North Pacific with a fishing effort of over 1.9 million hooks/day killed roughly 3000 loggerhead turtles per year in 2000 (Lewison et al., 2004).”
Global catches, exploitation rates, and rebuilding options for sharks (2013, background): “4 billion hooks [16] with 728 million hooks set in the Pacific, 518 million in the Atlantic, and 154 million in the Indian Ocean.”
Impacts of fisheries bycatch on marine turtle populations worldwide: toward conservation and research priorities (2013, background): “…acute bycatch problems (e.g., Peckham et al. 2007, Alfaro-Shigueto et al. 2011), the relative magnitude of bycatch at broad scales (e.g., Lewison et al. 2004a, b, 2005, Read et al. 2006, Casale 2010, Wallace et al. 2010a), and the need for development and implementation of bycatch…”
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).”
Foraging ecology of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta in the central Mediterranean Sea: evidence for a relaxed life history model (2008, background): “Indeed, the well known problem of longline interaction with loggerhead turtles (Lewison et al. 2004) represents evidence that turtles in the oceanic zone are highly attracted to dead animals used as baits.”
Postnatal dispersal of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans: implications for the conservation of the species (2006, unknown): “Tuck et al. 2001, Baum et al. 2003, Lewison et al. 2004 ).”
Migratory marine species: their status, threats and conservation management needs (2014, background): “…high mortality rates causing population level impacts have been reported for seabirds (Anderson et al., 2011; Zydelis et al., 2013), sea turtles (Lewison et al., 2004; Moore et al., 2009; Wallace et al., 2010a; Fossette et al., 2014), marine mammals (Read et al., 2006; Moore et al., 2009;…”
