Shark Depredation and Unwanted Bycatch in Pelagic Longline Fisheries As previously discussed, it is also important to better resolve the sources and rates of shark depredation across a variety of parameters. The prospect of doing so will be strengthened subsequent to the onset of more detailed recording protocols (e.g. shark versus pilot whale) for damaged catch in the POP. As personal methods for the reduction of bycatch and depredation have most certainly been derived through practice by industry, gaining the insights of the fishermen would represent an invaluable component to this assessment of the PLL fleet in the U.S. Atlantic. Regrettably, we were unable to reflect industry’s sentiments here. The incorporation of their strategies and viewpoints would thereby represent a logical next step in the assessment, especially in relation to shark bycatch and depredation mitigation practices. Finally, it is critical to continue developing and field-testing new technologies and strategies to help reduce shark takes in this fishery. If communication lines are enhanced, promising practices can better be distributed across geographic boundaries as a means for influencing global PLL fisheries where sharks are encountered. A9.4.
