Search References | Bycatch Management Information System (BMIS)

References (scientific & technical literature) in the BMIS encompass seabird, sea turtle, shark & ray, & marine mammal bycatch mitigation & management in oceanic tuna & billfish fisheries (longline, purse seine & gillnet). Various formats, e.g., journal articles, meeting papers, infographics, illustrated handling & identification guides, factsheets, videos, books, brochures, etc are included.

The 'Collections' filter is useful for finding RFMO meeting papers. Use keywords to narrow your search, e.g., author, species names, terms (biodegradable, cryptic mortality, depredation, indicators…).

If Pdfs are 'Open Access', you can find them in the BMIS - otherwise use the Google Scholar link provided. Click on 'Read More' for details.
