In Ecuador, one of the main hazards for threatened marine species, such as sea turtles, is small-scale fisheries bycatch. At a global scale, currently, bycatch reduction technologies (BRTs) are being tested in many coastal nations to mitigate this issue. Despite some advances Ecuadorian efforts wildlife protection, BRTs reduce have yet be assessed. The purpose study was test BRT net illumination using violet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mitigation measure turtle interactions driftnet fishery...
The smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena) is the third most captured shark species in Peru, a nation with one of largest fisheries Pacific Ocean. We sought to better understand trophic ecology this northern Peru by analyzing stomach contents. From 2013 through 2015, we collected 485 samples gut contents from sharks measuring 53-294 cm total length. Our results show that top predator diet dominated jumbo flying squid (Dosidicus gigas) and Patagonian (Doryteuthis (Amerigo) gahi). Smooth...
The stomach contents of thresher sharks ( Alopias spp.; 162–385 cm total length) were collected from five landing points in northern Peru during 2015. A 128 sampled, with 38 individuals identified as pelagicus and 90 aggregated to the genus level sp. prevent any misidentification. diet comprised 13 10 prey taxa for A. , respectively. Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas dominated both groups, only minor differences relation size classes location. shows a high degree specialization average trophic...
Introduction: The white-lipped peccary is a highly social species that forms large, cohesive groups of 10 to over 300 individuals. They are vulnerable human presence and habitat fragmentation because they require large extensions undisturbed forest with sufficient availability food maintain their biological requirements. This has disappeared in 84% its historic range Guatemala. In Guatemala, the only place containing viable population Maya Biosphere Reserve although it possible residual...
Abstract The Peruvian sea represents one of the most productive ocean ecosystems and possesses largest elasmobranch fisheries in Pacific Ocean. Ecosystem‐based management these will require information on trophic ecology elasmobranchs. This study aimed to understand diet, interactions role nine commercial species northern Peru through analysis stomach contents. A total 865 non‐empty stomachs were analysed. Off Peru, elasmobranchs function as upper‐trophic‐level consuming 78 prey items,...

Abstract Between October 2018 and 2019, seven megamouth sharks were reported as bycatch in the small-scale surface midwater gillnet fisheries operating from ports of Mancora Salaverry northern Peru. Here we present details these specimens events that represent first documented records this species Peruvian waters, confirming their occurrence bycatch. We recommend continued monitoring programs toward assessing extent species’ Peru its vulnerability to fishery interactions.
The shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) is considered one of the most important top predators in pelagic marine food webs. diet was studied northern Peru through analysis 25 stomach contents. Cephalopods were prey group, followed by bony fishes and crustaceans. A total 11 species identified, with Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas being prey, Ancistrocheirus lesueurii squid. trophic level 4.3 (tertiary predator) niche width 0.47 (intermediate degree specialization). This study contributes to...
Mandibles, or beaks, of cephalopods, have become a useful tool for their identification. These hard structures, in addition to having different morphological characteristics, are composed chitin, water, proteins and amino acids that allow them be among the last components digested stomach an organism. This means they can found contents marine predators, which helps understand ecological relationships exist ecosystem. We analyzed cephalopod beaks three shark species: Blue sharks, Smooth...
Marine debris is one of the major concerns in marine pollution impacting biodiversity, and also for human health. Many organisms interact with this debris, principally through ingestion or entanglement. In study, we aimed to quantify stomachs blue shark (Prionace glauca) captured off Salaverry, Peru, during 2015. From hundred sampled, 40 contained at least type debris. Paper, wood, paint, plastic fragments, films fibers were found stomachs, a high predominance coloured different sizes. The...
