摘要
Sea turtle bycatch in longline fishing gear is an ongoing threat to the recovery of sea turtle populations. While considerable research has focused on pelagic longline fisheries, very little attention has been paid to captures of sea turtles in bottom longlines. Estimates of sea turtle takes in the shark bottom longline fishery have raised concern that this fishery may be impacting loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758), populations. However, there are no current management actions designed to reduce the bycatch of sea turtles in fisheries that target sharks using bottom longline gear because no studies have identified which factors, if any, influence the capture of a loggerhead sea turtle. We used generalized linear models to determine which factors influence the probability of loggerhead sea turtle captures in the shark bottom longline fishery, and which factors are related to at-vessel mortality. While a variety of fishing techniques were considered as factors, no particular fishing method was found to predict a capture of a sea turtle. The most significant factor in predicting the capture of a loggerhead sea turtle in shark bottom longline gear was the area fished. Soak time was found to predict at-vessel hooking mortality with the median time for a mortality to occur was 14-15 hrs. While no definitive fishing factor was identified in the capture or mortality of a loggerhead sea turtle, research is needed using controlled methods for further examining the factors affecting captures of sea turtles in this and other bottom longline fisheries.
