Efficacy of Time-Area Fishing Restrictions and Gear-Switching as Solutions for Reducing Seabird Bycatch in Gillnet Fisheries

Catherine E. O'Keefe et al.

Summary: Despite the global problem of gillnet bycatch on seabirds, no effective universal measures have been found. Strategies to reduce seabird bycatch in gillnet fisheries were evaluated, focusing on time-area fishing restrictions and gear-switching. Consideration of species behavior and fine-scale spatial and temporal measures can help reduce bycatch. Combining measures may be feasible in some regions if detailed information about seabird-gillnet gear overlap is available.

Amazon river dolphins Inia geoffrensis are on the path to extinction in the heart of their range

A. R. Martin et al.

Summary: Riverine cetaceans are globally threatened by increasing anthropogenic impacts, with the Yangtze river dolphin already extinct and the Amazon river dolphin facing endangerment due to drowning in gillnets and being hunted for fish bait. A long-term study in Brazil showed a sustained decline in the Amazon river dolphin population, with predictions of 95% loss within 50 years based on population viability analysis. Unless human pressures leading to accidental and deliberate killing of the species are reduced rapidly, the Amazon river dolphin is likely to face extinction like its Yangtze counterpart.

Adaptation Strategies to a Changing Resource Base: Case of the Gillnet Nile Perch Fishery on Lake Victoria in Uganda

Veronica Mpomwenda et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the adaptation strategies of Nile perch gillnet fishers on Lake Victoria in Uganda, finding that they adopt different fishing strategies to cope with changing resource conditions based on the Nile perch population structure and their economic needs.

Biodiversity underpins fisheries resilience to exploitation in the Amazon river basin

Sebastian A. Heilpern et al.

Summary: Inland fisheries play a vital role in feeding over 150 million people globally. The exploitation of diverse inland fisheries in the Amazon is affecting freshwater biodiversity and eroding fisheries resilience. Higher fisheries biodiversity can delay fishery collapse.

Fisher behaviour in coastal and marine fisheries

Evan J. Andrews et al.

Summary: This research systematically reviews fisher behaviour in coastal and marine fisheries, highlighting the types of fisher behaviour commonly used in conceptual and empirical models. The implications of fisher behaviour for governance include the need for multilevel analysis, psychosocial variables in theoretical models, and interdisciplinary research to understand fishers' responses to change. Social and policy sciences research is crucial in identifying governance barriers and opportunities, incorporating fisher behaviour in fisheries policies.

Digital media reveal negative impacts of ghost nets on Brazilian marine biodiversity

Valter M. Azevedo-Santos et al.

Summary: Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) has significant negative impacts on Brazilian marine biodiversity, especially ghost nets. These gear affect a variety of marine species, including threatened species and animals within marine protected areas. The true extent of the damage caused by ghost nets in the Brazilian marine ecosystem is still underestimated and somewhat obscure.

Protected areas and frugivorous fish in tropical rivers: Small-scale fisheries, conservation and ecosystem services

Paula Nagl et al.

Summary: Frugivorous fish play a vital role in tropical rivers by providing conflicting ecosystem services of seed dispersal and food provisioning. A study in the Brazilian Amazon found that fisheries tend to target frugivorous fish, leading to higher catches outside protected areas. However, the balance between fisheries and conservation efforts in protecting frugivorous fish is crucial for the functioning of floodplain forest ecosystems.

Declining diversity of wild-caught species puts dietary nutrient supplies at risk

Sebastian A. Heilpern et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of declining biodiversity on nutrient supplies, particularly focusing on compensation, trophic dynamics, and functional diversity. The results show that when small sedentary species compensate for declines in large migratory species, there is an increase in fatty acid supplies but a decrease in zinc and iron supplies. Our findings emphasize the importance of considering biodiversity's essential role in sustaining nutritional benefits for the global population dependent on wild foods.
