Sea turtles in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, a step towards understanding byc...
Domingo, Andrés; Baéz, José Carlos; Miller, Philip; Parker, Denham; Ramos, María Lourdes; Sabarros, Philippe S.; Brown, Craig; Camiñas, Juan AntonioKnowledge of the spatiotemporal behavior and interactions with fishing gear of bycatch species is essential to improve conservation and fisheries management strategies. We analyze fine-scale data from onboard observers, covering 25 fishing fleets from 2002 through 2018, to assess temporal trends and spatial variation in sea turtle bycatch in longline and purse seine tuna fisheries in the Atlantic and Indian oce...
Spatial and temporal size distribution of swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean: impl...
Rosa, Daniela; Schirripa, Michael; Gillespie, Kyle; Macías, David; Forselledo, Rodrigo; Mourato, Bruno; Kai, Mikihiko; Arocha, Freddy; Su, Nan-JaySwordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a common target species of surface pelagic longline fisheries. In the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, swordfish is managed as three separate stocks, all having management measures in place to rebuild or conserve the stocks, including minimum landing sizes. The objective of this study was to review size data for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, model the sex-specific size dis...
Distribution patterns and population structure of the blue shark (Prionace glau...
Coelho, Rui; Mejuto, Jaime; Domingo, Andrés; Yokawa, Kotaro; Liu, Kwang-Ming; Cortés, Enric; Romanov, Evgeny V.; da Silva, Charlene; Hazin, FábioThe blue shark (Prionace glauca) is the most frequently captured shark in pelagic oceanic fisheries, especially pelagic longlines targeting swordfish and/or tunas. As part of cooperative scientific efforts for fisheries and biological data collection, information from fishery observers, scientific projects and surveys, and from recreational fisheries from several nations in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans was co...
Pan-Atlantic distribution patterns and reproductive biology of the bigeye thres...
Fernandez-Carvalho, Joana; Coelho, Rui; Mejuto, Jaime; Cortés, Enric; Domingo, Andrés; Yokawa, Kotaro; Liu, Kwang-Ming; García-Cortés, BlancaThe bigeye thresher (Alopias supercilious) is occasionally caught as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries targeting tunas and swordfish. Still, it is one of the least known and studied of all pelagic sharks, which hinders assessment of the status of its populations. As part of an ongoing cooperative program for fisheries and biological data collection, information collected by fishery observers and through sci...
