A global assessment of the impact of fisheries-related mortality on shy and white-capped albatrosses: conservation implications / G. Barry Baker, and 8 others.
Title: | A global assessment of the impact of fisheries-related mortality on shy and white-capped albatrosses: conservation implications / G. Barry Baker, and 8 others. |
Author(s): | Baker, G. Barry. |
Date: | 2007. |
Publisher: | [Amsterdam]: Elsevier |
Abstract: | Examines recent effort and bycatch rates in fisheries known to incidentally kill Thalassarche cauta and Thalassarche steadi, and qualitatively evaluates level of impact of each fishery. Results indicate that over 8,500 of these albatrosses may be killed annually, though reliability of estimate is low due to paucity of observer data. Trawl and longline fisheries killed birds in approximately equal proportions, but when mortality levels of shy-type albatrosses were examined, trawl fisheries were responsible for 75% of all deaths, and most birds were killed in South African, Namibian and New Zealand demersal trawl fisheries, and South African pelagic longline fishery. Adult shy albatrosses are comparatively sedentary and rarely found outside Australian waters, and it is primarily juveniles that regularly encounter fishing fleets. In contrast, juvenile and adult white-capped albatrosses are exposed throughout most of their range to fisheries that kill many thousands of albatrosses each year. Data emphasise urgent need for assessments of impact of bycatch at both species and population level, and for urgent implementation of effective mitigation measures. |
