Bycatch refers to the unintended capture of non-target species during fishing operations. This can include fish, marine mammals, birds, and other wildlife that are caught alongside the intended catch. Bycatch can lead to significant ecological impacts, as many of these non-target species may be injured or killed, disrupting marine ecosystems and contributing to declines in certain populations. Efforts to reduce bycatch include using selective fishing gear and implementing regulations to protect vulnerable species.
