Acoustic investigation of bycatch mitigation pingers
Acoustic methods of reducing or eliminating marine mammal-fishery interactions: do they work?
A summary study of methods used to reduce or eliminate marine mammal entanglements was conducted. The authors found little evidence on the effectiveness of the use of sound to reduce or eliminate marine mammal incidental capture. Substantial decreases in cetacean bycatch, due to the use of passive methods such as increasing fishing net reflectivity, were not evident through comparisons of catch rates in commercial fisheries or from observational deterrence studies.
