Primes

• Bycatch
  • Fisheries (origin substrate): trawl, longline, and gillnet gear capture target species and also non-target sharks, turtles, dolphins, juveniles, and seabirds; the discarded bycatch is frequently larger by tonnage than the landed target.

    This sourceProposes a global bycatch definition (catch unused or unmanaged) and estimates bycatch at ~40.4% of global marine catch — frames it as a structural consequence of finite gear selectivity.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
