This paper reviews published and unpublished information on the mortality of cetaceans in gillnets in Mexico, Central America and the wider Caribbean. Data on this incidental mortality are provided from…
Interactions between marine mammals and fisheries were monitored along the southwestern Atlantic coast of Argentina from Bahia Samborombon (Buenos Aires Province) to Tierra del Fuego Island. A variety of fisheries…
Coastal and pelagic fishing activities in the area of Necochea harbour, where high mortality of franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei) in gillnets had been previously reported, and at Claromeco, a small gillnet…
Since 1974, species of small cetaceans, fur seals, sea lions, sea birds and to some extent sea otters, have been taken deliberately each year for bait in the Chilean artisanal…
Small cetaceans and some great whales become entangled and die in gillnets in a variety of fisheries in the northeastern Indtan Ocean. Information on operational details, present status and future…
Dolphins of several species are killed incidentally in driftnet fisheries on the high seas in the North Pacific. Information on stock identity, necessary for assessment and management of the dolphin…
Gillnet and trap fisheries of the Northwest Atlantic and their potential for cetacean entanglement are reviewed. Ten major categories of passive fisheries are identified, five of which are known to…
To reduce incidental catch of cetaceans in gillnets, two forms of acoustic modifications are reviewed here; one to make gillnets more reflective to cetacean sonar, and another using active sound…
A total of 1,715 km of boat-based surveys and 1,521 km of aircraft-based surveys was conducted from 1986–1989 to assess the distribution, relative abundance, and ecological relationships of cetaceans in…
Epidermal thickness and relative papillary height of the skin from the urogenital region were compared with values from the ventral aspect of the flipper and the mid-dorsal body wall. Data…
