Incidental capture of seabirds in the New Zealand subantarctic squid trawl fishery, 1990
Summary Fisheries observers recorded incidental capture of seabirds during 338 days on Soviet squid trawlers in New Zealand subantarctic shelf waters around the Snares and Auckland Islands in 1990. Seven species were recorded entangled in fishing gear, including very high numbers of breeding adult W...
