Proceedings of the regional science peer review assessment of incidental catch in the Atlantic Canadian swordfish/other tuna longline fishery : February 24-25, 2016, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia / chairperson:...: Fs70-4/2016-054E-PDF
“Incidental bycatch and discarding of non-targeted species occur in many fisheries. An objective of sustainable fisheries management is to manage discard mortality for targeted species and to control the incidental mortality for non-targeted species. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Maritimes Region, has undertaken research to evaluate incidental catch in the Atlantic Canadian Swordfish/Other Tuna longline fishery, with a focus on seven species: Bluefin Tuna, Porbeagle, Shortfin Mako, Blue Shark, Loggerhead Turtle, Leatherback Turtle, and undersized Swordfish. As part of the Regional Science Peer Review process, a meeting was held on February 24-25, 2016, at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to review an assessment of incidental catch in the Atlantic Canadian Swordfish/Other Tuna longline fishery. The meeting was follow-up to a meeting previously held on this topic in July 2011 entitled ‘Incidental Catch in Canadian Large Pelagic Fisheries’. To guide discussion, one Working Paper was provided to meeting participants in advance of the meeting date on February 17, 2016"--Summary, p. iv.
