Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, unknown): “In the Southern Ocean, accidental mortality in trawling fisheries may also be high (Sullivan et al. 2006, Croxall 2008, Watkins et al. 2008).”
Bycatch in gillnet fisheries – An overlooked threat to waterbird populations (2009, background): “…the main focus thus far has been on bycatch of Procellariiform seabirds in longline fisheries (Brothers et al., 1999; Lewison et al., 2005), with mortalities in trawl fisheries receiving increasing attention recently (Sullivan et al., 2006; González-Zevallos et al., 2007; Watkins et al., 2008).”
Why study bycatch? An introduction to the Theme Section on fisheries bycatch (2008, background): “Even for industrial fisheries, serious issues continue to emerge (e.g. seabirds and deep-water trawl fisheries; Baker et al. 2007, Watkins et al. 2008), and entire regions remain where bycatch in industrial fleets has never been monitored.”
A review of marine mammal, sea turtle and seabird bycatch in USA fisheries and the role of policy in shaping management (2009, background): “Seabird mortality in trawl gear is a previously overlooked but emerging issue of concern around the world, and current observer program protocols may greatly underestimate seabird bycatch in trawl gear because many birds killed by warp and third wire cables do not make it into the codend of the traw”
Seasonal variation in oceanographic habitat and behaviour of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis from Kerguelen Island (2010, background): “A considerable proportion of this bycatch consists of white-chinned petrels with an estimated 8000 birds per year in the hake longline fishery in the 1990s (Barnes et al. 1997), and 1500 birds per year in the recent study of trawl mortality (Watkins et al. 2008).”
An assessment of seabird–fishery interactions in the Atlantic Ocean (2011, background): “, 2008) and trawl fisheries (Sullivan et al., 2006; Gonzalez-Zevallos et al., 2007; Petersen et al., 2008; Watkins et al., 2008).”
The conservation status and priorities for albatrosses and large petrels (2016, background): “…birds foraging on discards or offal (hereafter “discards”) may be injured or killed on collision with netmonitoring and warp cables, dragged underwater and drowned when their wings become entangled around the warp, or become entangled in nets (Sullivan et al., 2006a; Watkins et al., 2008).”
