Leader material and bait effects on target and bycatch species caught in an Atl...
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Santos, Miguel N.; Rosa, Daniela; Coelho, RuiThe influence of bait type and leader material on target and bycatch species was assessed through fishing experiments in the Portuguese shallow pelagic longline fishery in the Atlantic Ocean. Wire leaders were found to decrease catch rates of commercially valuable species such as bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna, while increasing catch rates of elasmobranchs, including the blue shark and shortfin mako. The odds r...
A review of reported effects of pelagic longline fishing gear configurations on...
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Rosa, Daniela; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Coelho, Rui1. A meta-analysis of 40 publications totalling 59 experiments was undertaken to review and assess the effects of changing the hook (circle vs. J-hooks or tuna hooks), bait (fish vs. squid) and leader (wire vs. nylon) type on retention and at haulback mortality rates of teleosts (tunas and billfishes), elasmobranchs and sea turtles caught on shallow-set and deep-set pelagic longline fisheries. 2. Circle hooks a...
Movements, habitat use, and diving behavior of Shortfin Mako in the Atlantic Ocean
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Domingo, Andrés; Carlson, John; Natanson, Lisa J.; Travassos, Paulo; Macías, David; Cortés, Enric; Miller, Philip; Hazin, FábioThe shortfin mako is one of the most important shark species caught in Atlantic Ocean pelagic fisheries. Given increasing concerns for the stock status of the species, the present study was designed to fill gaps in the knowledge of habitat use and movement patterns of shortfin mako in the Atlantic Ocean. From 2015 to 2019, 53 shortfin makos were tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags within the North, Centr...
Beyond post-release mortality: inferences on recovery periods and natural morta...
Bowlby, Heather D.; Benoît, Hugues P.; Joyce, Warren; Sulikowski, James; Coelho, Rui; Domingo, Andrés; Cortés, Enric; Hazin, Fabio; Macias, DavidAccurately characterizing the biology of a pelagic shark species is critical when assessing its status and resilience to fishing pressure. Natural mortality (M) is well known to be a key parameter determining productivity and resilience, but also one for which estimates are most uncertain. While M can be inferred from life history, validated direct estimates are extremely rare for sharks. Porbeagle (Lamna nasus...
Assessing the effects of hook, bait and leader type as potential mitigation mea...
Rosa, Daniela; Casaca Santos, Catarina; Coelho, RuiA meta-analysis of 24 publications was conducted to assess effects of hook, bait and leader type on retention rates of target, bycatch and vulnerable species of the pelagic longline fishery. Retention rate and at-haulback mortality rate analyses considered hook type, bait type, the combination of both variables and leader type. Turtles and swordfish had a lower retention rate with circle hooks. In contrast, ret...
Progress on a meta-analysis for comparing hook, bait and leader effects on targ...
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Rosa, Daniela; Coelho, RuiThis paper describes the progress of an EU Project "Evaluation of the effects of hooks’ shape & size on the catchability, yields and mortality of target and by-catch species, in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas surface longline fisheries". At this stage, a meta-analysis of 36 publications totaling 55 experiments was conducted to assess effects of hook, bait, and leader type on retention and at-haulback mort...
Local indicators for global species: Pelagic sharks in the tropical northeast A...
Coelho, Rui; Macías, David; Ortiz de Urbina, Josetxu; Martins, Albertino; Monteiro, Carlos; Lino, Pedro G.; Rosa, Daniela; Casaca Santos, CatarinaPelagic sharks are an important bycatch in pelagic fisheries, especially for drifting longlines targeting swordfish. In the Cabo Verde Archipelago (tropical NE Atlantic), pelagic shark catches can reach a significant proportion of the total catches. Due to the increased concern on the status of pelagic shark species, this study was developed to enhance the current knowledge of those sharks in the Cabo Verde reg...
Updates on post-release mortality of shortfin mako in the Atlantic using satell...
Miller, Philip; Casaca Santos, Catarina; Carlson, John; Natanson, Lisa; Cortés, Enric; Mas, Federico; Hazin, Fábio H. V.; Travassos, PauloThis paper provides an update of the study on post-release mortality of the shortfin mako, Isurus oxyrinchus developed within the ICCAT Shark Research and Data Collection Program (SRDCP). Up to date, 43 tags (14 sPATs and 29 miniPATs) have been deployed by observers on Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish, Uruguayan, and US vessels in the temperate NE and NW, Equatorial and SW Atlantic. Data from 35 out of 43 tagged ...
Hook, bait and leader type effects on surface pelagic longline retention and mo...
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Rosa, Daniela; Coelho, RuiA meta-analysis of 24 publications was conducted to assess effects of hook, bait and leader type on retention and at-haulback mortality rates of target, bycatch and vulnerable species of the pelagic longline fishery. Turtles and swordfish had lower retention rates with circle hooks. In contrast, retention rates of 3 sharks and 2 tuna species were greater with circle hooks. Bait type did not seem to significantl...
Updates on habitat use and migrations patterns for shortfin mako in the Atlanti...
Casaca Santos, Catarina; Domingo, Andrés; Carlson, John; Natanson, Lisa; Travassos, Paulo; Macias, David; Cortés, Enric; Miller, PhilipThis paper provides an update of the study on habitat use for shortfin mako, developed within the ICCAT Shark Research and Data Collection Program (SRDCP). A total of 43 tags (29 miniPATs and 14 sPATs) have been deployed by observers on Portuguese, Uruguayan, Brazilian, Spanish and US vessels in the temperate NE and NW, Equatorial and SW Atlantic. Data from 41 tags/specimens are available, and a total of 1656 t...
