Around 10% of the catch generated by purse seine FAD fisheries is unwanted bycatch and includes endangered species of sharks and turtles. The catch of large amounts of juvenile bigeye and yellowfin tunas in these fisheries is now threatening the survival of these commercially valuable species. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices in purse seining and the establishment of a global network of marine reservesLAT 04:09 NORTH / LONG 091:31 WESTLocations:Ecuador-Galapagos Islands-Pacific Ocean-South Pacific OceanDate:4 Dec, 2009Credit:© Alex Hofford / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3072px X 2049pxKeywords:Bycatch-Day-Fisheries-Fishers-Fishing (activity)-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Fishing vessels-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Seine fishing-Skipjack tunas-TunasRelated Collections:'Protect the Oceans' Expedition Launch Collection (Photos, Video & 30x30 Report)Ocean Images for Press'Our Oceans' Press CollectionFAD Documentation in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (Photos & Videos)
