Search References | Bycatch Management Information System (BMIS)

References (scientific & technical literature) encompass seabird, sea turtle, shark & ray, & marine mammal bycatch mitigation & management in oceanic tuna & billfish fisheries (longline, purse seine & gillnet). Formats include journal articles, meeting papers, infographics, illustrated handling & identification guides, factsheets, videos, books, brochures...

Use the 'Collections' filter to find RFMO meeting papers. Narrow a search with keywords, e.g., author, terms (biodegradable, cryptic mortality, depredation, cross-taxa, sensory biology, GAMM…). SEARCH TIPS
