#Mermay Day 8: Zebra Shark (Endangered)
They're nocturnal foragers and rest during the day. As they age, they lose their stripes and gain spots. Threats include being captured and overfished by inshore fisheries. #EndangeredMermay #EndangeredSpeciesDay and #colour_collective
I wonder how that impacts #fisheries and how it has been impacting fisheries over time? #Atlantic Cod anyone?

New paper on case studies showing how tracking data on marine species have helped inform conservation policy and management, incl. reductions in
fisheries bycatch & vessel strikes, and marine protected area design https://t.co/4TbIRThrti

Hopefully not too late for #SundayFishSketch. I randomly picked the Paraliparis darwini, a deep water fish first discovered and described by Stein et al. off Galapagos archipelago. #scicomm #sciart #fishsci #fisheries.

#Mermay day 14 late: Atlantic Humpbacked Dolphin (Critically Endangered)
They prefer shallow waters that are close to the shore such as mangrove channels, river deltas, and bay areas.
Human activities threaten the species with fisheries being the greatest threat. #Mermay2018
#Mermay day 13 late: Caspian Seal (Endangered)
They are found only in the Caspian Sea. Pups are usually born on the ice and cannot get into the water until they molt.
Recently, the by-catch of seals by illegal Sturgeon fisheries has been a major cause of mortality. #mermay2018
Almost half #Hoiho penguin breeding pop. on Codfish Is have disappeared, prob due to commercial set-net #fishing, says @Forest_and_Bird.

Smart hooks designed for bycatch mitigation in longline fisheries. A reduction in bycatch of seabirds of 82%. Expensive so not feasible.

Another drawing!
What's the true cost of your fish & chips? 50 million sharks are killed as by-catch in commercial fisheries every year.
