This study sought to identify the causes of gear loss and determine the main fishing grounds where losses occurred. Data were collected between 2003 and 2023 from 17 ports along the Peruvian coast. Of 8742 fishing sets analyzed, bottom longlines reported the most incidents, (n = 456 with 38,130 hooks lost) of gear loss. The reported main causes of gear loss across all gear types assessed included bad weather, ship interactions, entangling/snagging gear on rocky bottom, and wildlife interactions. From wildlife interactions, entanglement of large cetaceans, was the leading cause of gear loss. This study provides valuable insights into the causes and impacts of gear loss by Peruvian fisheries and highlights the need for more robust monitoring toward fostering sustainable fishing practices.

秘鲁小规模渔业渔具损失事故的触发因素


本研究旨在确定渔具损失的原因并确定发生损失的主要渔场。数据是在 2003 年至 2023 年期间从秘鲁沿海的 17 个港口收集的。在分析的 8742 个渔具组中，海底延绳报告的渔具损失事件最多（n = 456，丢失了 38,130 个鱼钩）。在评估的所有渔具类型中，报告的渔具丢失的主要原因包括恶劣天气、船舶互动、在岩石底部缠住/钩住渔具以及野生动物互动。从野生动物的互动来看，大型鲸类动物的纠缠是渔具损失的主要原因。这项研究为秘鲁渔业渔具损失的原因和影响提供了宝贵的见解，并强调了为促进可持续捕捞实践而进行更有力监测的必要性。
