Seabird Bycatch. Five of the nine monitored fisheries had observed seabird bycatch (Tables 1, 3). These included all three fisheries monitored in Peru: driftnets; surface longlines targeting sharks; and surface longlines targeting dolphinfish. In Ecuador seabird bycatch was observed in the surface longline fishery targeting yellowfin tuna and the demersal longline fishery targeting South Pacific xxxx. Five species of albatrosses were observed captured. WAAL were caught by the greatest number of observed fleets: the surface and demersal longline fleets in Ecuador and the Peruvian driftnet fleet. WAAL were the most frequently reported seabird bycatch species in Ecuador while white-chinned petrels were the most common bycatch species in Peruvian fisheries (black-browed albatrosses were the most frequently captured albatross by Peru fisheries). The driftnet fishery in Salaverry had the greatest diversity of seabird bycatch and included albatrosses, petrels, shearwaters, boobies, cormorants, terns and penguins, however it is important to note that the Peru dataset is of longer duration than Ecuador’s. Seabird mortality was highest in the Peruvian driftnet fishery with 80% of seabird bycatch recovered dead (Table 4). This compares with mortality rates of 14% in the Peruvian dolphinfish longline fleet, 25% in the Ecuadorian yellowfin tuna surface longline fleet, 44% in the Ecuadorian South Pacific xxxx demersal longline fleet, and 55% in the Peruvian shark surface longline fleet (Table 4). Seabirds recovered alive were typically released alive while those recovered dead were discarded. Approximately one third of all recovered seabirds in the Peru driftnet fleet were retained as food. The most frequent hooking location across all longline fisheries was in the throat while wing entanglements were the most frequent cause of capture in driftnets. The majority of bycatch was reported as occurring during the haul for all fisheries except Peruvian surface longlines for sharks.
