This book comes after several decades of outstanding and successful
research that has helped ameliorate some of the most important and
controversial fisheries issues in the world a" those associated
with the unwanted wastage of fish from by-catch and discarding.
The 8 chapters encompass contributions from 27 of the worlda
(TM)s leading experts in by-catch reduction. They take the reader
through most aspects of the field at a variety of scales and
viewpoints. They examine the methodologies used to develop by-catch
reduction techniques and provide new avenues for assisting and
broadening such work. Case studies are provided that encompass most
of the worlda (TM)s fishing techniques and regions.
Solutions developed for the most problematic fishing methods in
terms of by-catch, selectivity and habitat damage are examined in
significant detail in addition to ways to reduce the by-catch of
charismatic species like marine mammals and sea-birds. By-catch
reduction in less infamous fishing methods is also examined with
chapters on recreational fishing and trapping. The book shows how
the lessons learned in reducing by-catch can be applied to
ameliorate emerging, broader issues concerning the impacts of
fishing on entire ecosystems. Finally, the book examines the most
vital phase of by-catch reduction work - its uptake and extension
into fishing practices.
This book will prove an invaluable tool for any fisheries
professional or lay person interested in by-catch reduction or,
indeed, anyone trying to resolve a particular by-catch problem in
their fishery.
