Peruvian bycatch in SSF and bycatch reduction technology testing

Bycatch in net fisheries is recognized as a major source of mortality for many marine species, including seabirds. Few mitigation solutions, however, have been identified. We assessed the effectiveness of illuminating fishing nets with green light emitting diodes (LEDs) to reduce the incidental capture of seabirds. Experiments were conducted in the demersal, setnet fishery of Constante, Peru an...

网渔业中的误捕现象被视为众多海洋物种，包括海鸟，死亡率的主要原因。然而，目前所识别的缓解措施寥寥无几。本研究评估了使用绿色发光二极管（LED）照亮渔网以减少海鸟意外捕获的有效性。实验在秘鲁康斯坦特地区的底拖网渔业中进行。
