Looming-eyes buoys fail to reduce seabird bycatch in the Icelandic lumpfish fishery: depth-based fishing restrictions are an alternative
Yann Rouxel e outros, 2023 · Royal Society Open Science
Equipping lumpfish gillnets with looming-eyes buoys had no detectable effect on seabird bycatch rates relative to depth-matched control nets.

Contexto
What changed: Rotating looming-eyes buoys designed to visually deter diving seabirds were installed at 100 m intervals along experimental gillnet tiers. Comparison: Unmodified control gillnet tiers fished during the same vessel trips and matched by water depth. Limits: Conducted in a single northern bay over one two-month season across seven boats, with highly zero-inflated bycatch occurrences.
