The overarching aim of this multidisciplinary thesis was to contribute to the development of a novel shark bycatch reduction device (BRD) that both meets fishing operators’ needs and is economically feasible. Following the multidisciplinary approach evident in existing frameworks developed for addressing bycatch problems, each chapter employed a different methodology drawn from a research discipline that provided a suitable set of tools for investigating a specific problem related to the overall goal. First, a literature review identified and evaluated global options available for mitigating elasmobranch bycatch on longline fishing gear. The aim of this review was to determine whether a shark bycatch reduction method currently exists tha...
