Abstract
Bycatch in artisanal fisheries refers to the unintentional capture of non-targeted species during fishing operations. This phenomenon often includes both highly migratory and non-migratory species, contributing to ecological imbalances and posing challenges to the sustainability of marine ecosystems. Artisanal fisheries, characterized by small-scale, traditional fishing practices, may inadvertently trap species that are not the primary target, leading to environmental concerns, economic losses, and potential threats to biodiversity.
