Shrimp fisheries produce unusually high levels of bycatch. (wikipedia.org)
Before the introduction of bycatch reduction devices in the 1980s, shrimp fishery had a bycatch ratio (ratio of the amount of non-target species caught to the amount of the target species caught) of 4.5-5.3:1. (wikipedia.org)
Bycatch is a serious problem for warm-water shrimp fisheries, with inadvertent catches of sea turtles being among the most contentious issues. (wikipedia.org)
Shark bycatch is frequently reported in pelagic longline fisheries targeting tuna and swordfish and can represent as much as 25 percent of the total catch. (pewtrusts.org)
Blue sharks make up an especially large fraction of shark bycatch in pelagic fisheries (47-92 percent). (pewtrusts.org)
In principle, this approach can also be used to limit incidental catches (also known as "bycatch") of species that have little commercial value but are protected due to their ecological importance. (perc.org)

(perc.org)
Fishery managers could set total catch limits for each bycatch species based on biological considerations and then assign tradable shares of these overall limits to individual fishers. (perc.org)
