Odontocete cetaceans foraging behind trawlers, worldwide

Silvia Bonizzoni et al.

Summary: Several populations of odontocete cetaceans have adapted their behavior to forage with trawlers, using specialized techniques such as feeding on organisms trapped in the net, scavenging on discarded catch, and feeding on fish stirred up by the net. This opportunistic foraging strategy facilitates access to prey but also exposes the animals to potential harm and mortality. The overall impact on odontocete populations and the economic damage caused by their interactions with trawlers remain uncertain.

Interactions between air-breathing marine megafauna and artisanal fisheries in Southern Iberian Atlantic waters: Results from an interview survey to fishers

Sofia Alexandre et al.

Summary: This study assessed the interactions between marine megafauna (cetaceans, marine birds, and marine turtles) and fisheries through interviews with local fishers in Portugal. The findings showed that bycatch is a concern for all marine megafauna groups, but depredation problems are mostly associated with cetaceans. Purse seine and coastal bottom set-nets were identified as the fishing gears of most concern. Economic loss caused by depredation led to catch and gear damage, which were especially reported by bottom set-net fishers.

A low-cost approach in acoustic monitoring of dolphin presence

Rocco De Marco et al.

Summary: This study proposes a self-made/low-cost underwater acoustic recorder using inexpensive components. The performance of the proposed hydrophone is compared with a commercial hydrophone, and the results show that the performance degradation introduced by the low-cost approach is very limited.

Artisanal fishing, dolphins, and interactive pinger: A study from a passive acoustic perspective

Giuseppa Buscaino et al.

Summary: The study found that interactions between dolphins and set nets increased over time, leading to a decrease in catch rate. Interactive pingers were effective in deterring dolphin depredation in the short term, but other mitigation approaches should also be considered to manage interactions between fisheries and dolphins effectively.

Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Whistle Modulation during a Trawl Bycatch Event in the Adriatic Sea

Valentina Corrias et al.

Summary: The presence of dolphins in fishing areas can lead to economic losses for fishermen due to their depredation activities, and bycatch events are a major cause of mortality for conservation species. This study focuses on the acoustic parameters detected in whistle signals of Bottlenose dolphins during a bycatch event in the Adriatic Sea, revealing their acoustic plasticity and ability to communicate discomfort through their vocal repertoire.

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the north-western Adriatic Sea: Spatial distribution and effects of trawling

Silvia Bonizzoni et al.

Summary: The study provides novel quantitative information on dolphin spatial distribution and their occurrence after fishing activities in the northern Adriatic Sea. Results show that trawling activities, along with other physiographic, biological, and anthropogenic variables, influenced dolphin distribution. Evidence contributed by this study can inform management action to protect one of the world's areas most heavily impacted by fishing and human encroachment.
