What’s the catch with lumpsuckers? A North Atlantic study of seabird bycatch in lumpsucker gillnet fisheries

Abstract

This factsheet presents the findings of the first effort to quantify the potential impacts on seabird populations of a species-specific fishing activity across its entire range. It provides an understanding of the overall effects of coastal gillnet fisheries on seabird populations and bycatch reduction efforts. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108278
