Bycatch mortality can decrease the sustainability of fisheries and the net benefits provided by the fisheries in several ways. First, if bycatch mortality is not monitored adequately, it increases the uncertainty concerning total fishing-related mortality, which in turn makes it more difficult to assess the status of stocks to (1) set the appropriate optimum yield and overfishing levels and (2) ensure that the optimum yields are attained and that the overfishing does not occur. Second, if discards are sufficiently concentrated in time and space, they will result in localized environmental degradation. Third, bycatch mortality precludes some other uses of fishery resources. For example, juvenile fish that are subject to bycatch mortality cannot be used to contribute directly to the growth of that stock and to future catch. Bycatch is a wasteful use of living marine resources if it precludes a higher valued use of those resources. ... [Read More]
