Experiments in the Western Atlantic Northeast Distant Waters to Evaluate Sea Turtle Mitigation Measures in the Pelagic Longline Fishery. Report of Experiments Conducted in 2001-2003.

摘要

Five potential mitigation techniques were evaluated during 539 research sets in 2003. Data were collected to evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures and to investigate variables that effect sea turtle interaction rates with pelagic longline gear.
