Combined effects of fisheries and climate on a migratory long-lived marine predator (2007, background): “Our results also confirm what was previously proposed for other colonies of black-browed albatross (Woehler, Auman & Riddle 2002) and other seabird species ( Tuck et al. 2001 ): that trawling had a positive indirect effect on demographic traits through offal and discards as an additional food source”
Bycatch in gillnet fisheries – An overlooked threat to waterbird populations (2009, background): “Seabird mortality in fishing gear is a globally recognised conservation issue and is believed to be responsible for declines of many bird populations (Tuck et al., 2001; IUCN, 2007).”
Developing integrated models of Southern Ocean food webs: Including ecological complexity, accounting for uncertainty and the importance of scale (2012, unknown): “Demographic models and age-structured models are also available for a range of seabird and marine mammal species (Tuck et al., 2001; Jenouvrier et al., 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009).”
Validating the use of generalized additive models and at‐sea surveys to estimate size and temporal trends of seabird populations (2003, background): “This was justified because the albatross population size should not vary much over time (see Appendix) and there is no evidence that this population was being adversely affected by longlining, which has been observed in other albatross populations (Brothers 1991; Tuck et al . 2001 ).”
Identification of high‐use habitat and threats to leatherback sea turtles in northern waters: new directions for conservation (2005, background): “Incidental capture in fisheries has been implicated in the decline of many species ( Tuck et al. 2001; Baum et al. 2003; Lewison et al. 2004), but because most analyses focus on observer data from only a fraction of fisheries with potential impacts, the importance of interactions occurring in other”
Global seabird bycatch in longline fisheries (2011, background): “…from South Georgia, and these losses alone are sufficient to account for much of the continuing (and recently increased) pattern of decline seen in South Georgia wandering albatross populations in recent decades (Croxall et al. 1998, Tuck et al. 2001, Poncet et al. 2006, Phillips et al. 2010).”
Diseases threaten Southern Ocean albatrosses (2004, background): “…there has been a tendency to attribute decrease of albatross populations to long-line fishing whereas very few studies so far have tried to estimate the potential effect of long-lining on the dynamics of populations affected by this type of fishery (e.g. Weimerskirch et al. 1997; Tuck et al. 2001).”
Threats to seabirds: A global assessment (2019, background): “Longline and trawl fisheries involve the gear types with greatest impact in terms of both average severity and scope (especially for albatrosses and large petrels/shearwaters; Tuck et al., 2001; Barbraud et al., 2009).”
Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, unknown): “Better documented are the direct interactions between seabirds and fisheries, and more particularly bycatch, which may have been implicated in population declines of several species of seabirds in the Southern Ocean (e.g. Weimerskirch et al. 1997, Tuck et al. 2001).”
The impact of pelagic longline fishing on the flesh-footed shearwater Puffinus carneipes in Eastern Australia (2005, background): “, 2002), but there is some evidence that populations of the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans, show a density-dependent response to declines in the breeding population size (Croxall et al., 1990; Tuck et al., 2001).”
Inter-population variation in demographic parameters: a neglected subject? (2005, unknown): “islands, but not at others (Tuck et al. 2001).”
Looking beyond the mortality of bycatch: sublethal effects of incidental capture on marine animals (2014, unknown): “From a conservation perspective, a number of globally important issues have been identified whereby populations of key species (often charismatic megafauna) have been affected by fishing activity targeting other species (e.g., Hall, 1998; Tuck et al., 2001; Lewison et al., 2004b).”
