You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, background): “…of these species are caught regularly as bycatch in widespread longline, purse seine, and gillnet fisheries targeting more productive tuna, swordfish and other billfish, as well as midwater trawl fisheries for small pelagic fish in boundary current systems (Baum et al., 2003; Zeeberg et al., 2006).”
Spatio-temporal analysis of cetacean strandings and bycatch in a UK fisheries hotspot (2008, background): “Fisheries bycatch of non-target marine vertebrates is of global concern, impacting a wide range of taxa (Silvani et al. 1999; Norman 2000; Hays et al. 2003; Lewison et al. 2004; Read et al. 2006; Chilvers in press; Zeeberg et al. 2006 ).”
Delayed ontogenic dietary shift and high levels of omnivory in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from the NW coast of Africa (2009, background): “... intestinal flora necessary for degradation of cellulose is completely developed (Bjorndal 1979), and (3) the observed patterns reflect the availability of easily accessible animal prey caused by varying and unpredictable sources, such as fish discarded from fishing vessels, fish die-off events, ”
