Proactive bycatch avoidance systems: Development and evaluation with cooperative research

ABSTRACT:
Concern over incidental catches in commercial fisheries has been increasing, and substantial effort is being focused on developing effective reduction strategies. Incidental catches of alewife and blueback herring in the commercial Atlantic herring fishery have received substantial attention on the Northeast U.S. continental shelf, despite an existing bycatch avoidance program. Species distribution models were developed and evaluated with fishery-independent data, and then combined with oceanographic forecast models for evaluation of forecasting skill. Preliminary evaluations for fishery-dependent applications have been constructed using cooperative research. Early results indicate that species distribution forecasts have the potential to further reduce river herring incidental catches in the commercial Atlantic herring fishery.
