• AukRelated: Fishing gear can accidentally kill auks that dive for prey near fishing grounds.

• Fish marketRelated: Market demand for particular catches can accompany fisheries that also capture unwanted species.

• Fish trapRelated: Fish traps may capture non-target species that enter the same chambers.

• King crabRelated: King crab gear and fisheries can interact with non-target animals and require mitigation.

• Mechanical pest controlRelated: Traps can capture non-target animals unless their design and placement limit access.

• PenaeidaeRelated: Trawling for wild penaeids can catch non-target fish and other marine animals.
