Overview

Study reports bycatch in a commercial fishery for Arctic char, suggesting improvements for ecosystem-based management.

Key Points

  • Bycatch in the commercial fishery primarily consisted of arctic char that was discarded or kept for subsistence.
  • A total of seven fish species, one crab species, and two seal species made up the recorded bycatch from 2012-2018.
  • Gillnet fisheries showed the highest diversity of bycatch, particularly in the estuarine fishery at Surrey.
  • Ecosystem-based management is essential for addressing bycatch and improving future monitoring efforts.
