Degradability evaluation for natural material fibre used on fish aggregation devices (FADs) in tuna purse seine fishery

Purse seiners deploy large amounts of drifting fish aggregation devices (FADs) in all tropical oceans to catch tunas. These FADs are constructed with porous synthetic fibre netting, which are responsible for incidental mortality of sea turtles and sharks through entanglement, and can engage in ghost...
