Description
Seabird Bycatch significantly adds to the knowledge base of seabird incidental mortality in commercial fisheries, and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive solutions. The product of a 1999 symposium held by the Pacific Seabird Group, Seabird Bycatch is a response to escalating seabird bycatch, a global conservation and fisheries management issue. In a classic synthesis of the symposium, the editors discuss techniques to measure bycatch in fisheries worldwide, obstacles to solving bycatch, and viable bycatch solutions.
