1 Sea Turtles and Longline Fisheries: Impacts and Mitigation Experiments Yonat Swimmer, Mike Musyl, Lianne M c Naughton, Anders Nielson, Richard Brill, Randall Arauz PFRP P.I. Meeting Dec. 9, 2003
2 Species Population Trend Leatherback Turtle Declining Loggerhead Turtle Green Turtle Black Turtle Sea Turtles in the Pacific Declining Declining (except in Hawaii & Australia) Declining Major Nesting Beaches Mexico Costa Rica Malaysia Australia Japan Hawaii Mexico Galapagos Hawksbill Turtle Unknown Hawaii Olive Ridley Turtle Declining (except in Oaxaca) Mexico Costa Rica Malaysia Thailand Irian Jaya India
3 Destruction of nesting beaches Long generation times years until adulthood High mortality of eggs Egg harvesting (poaching) Egg predation (mammals)
4 High natural predation of hatchlings and juveniles at Sea Adult harvest by humans Disease Pollution
5 Entanglement and ingestion of marine debris Incidental capture in fisheries

7 Longline Fishing and Sea Turtle Interactions: Leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) Generally entangled or foul-hooked (snagged) Status: Endangered*
8 Longline Fishing and Sea Turtle Interactions: Hard-shelled turtles e.g. loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) Generally hooked - opportunistic feeders bite baited hooks. Status: Threatened
9 What is fate of turtles after their release from longline-fishing gear? Our chosen tool
10 Pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) To determine -- survivorship -- geolocation (& migratory corridors) -- dive depths --temperature Deployed by at-sea observers
11 How can PSATs determine survivorship?? PSATs set to release/report: At pre-set pop-up date or After tag has been at constant depth for 4 days* or After tag has exceeded 1,500 m depth* or If tag and/or baseplate are shed, will float to surface *these parameters exceed what is expected to occur in a live turtle (we assume mortality)
12 PSAT concerns Early tag shedding observed in fish and turtles Data quantity relatively low Light-based geolocations require additional filtering to data (e.g. Kalman filter)
13 Geolocations determined by PSATs Most probable track predicted from state-space model via the Kalman filter (Sibert and Nielson). Incorporation of SST data is in progress.

21 Is there a turtle layer in the North Pacific?? YES!! Loggerhead spent 100% total time < 50 m Olive ridley spent 90% total time <100 m
22 Costa Rica Sea turtles= 8% total catch longline fishery Cooperative fishers!! Collaboration: Univ. of Hawaii, PRETOMA, NMFS, Sea Turtle Restoration Program 10 Caught and released from longline gear 5 Controls (free swimming)
23 Tags on CR olive ridley turtles stayed on for only ~ 60 days Are tags removed by fishers? Are turtles mating and knocking tags off? Does an olive ridley carapace form a weaker epoxy bond as compared to loggerheads??

32 Survivorship Longline-caught olive ridley (8) and loggerhead turtles (4) were tracked from days, & no mortalities were confirmed. One turtle that was deeply-hooked had the longest track (72 days) for all CR olive ridleys. 4 control turtles were successfully tracked from days. One control turtle died.

38 Most sea turtles survive longline hooking. Multiple interactions could contribute to mortality. Turtles released after capture in longline gear have markedly different dive patterns that could affect turtles foraging or reproductive ecology.
39 Fishing Experiments on Sea Turtle Bycatch Reduction PRETOMA (CR), NMFS, Papagayo Seafoods (CR), Sea Turtle Restoration Program (USA), University of Hawaii. Happening Now! Test of blue dyed bait in shallow mahi mahi fishery within the EEZ of Costa Rica
40 Why blue bait??? Kemp s ridley, loggerhead and green turtles avoided bluefoods in laboratory studies
41 Why Costa Rica?? Daytime, shallow fishery Cooperative Fishers Olive ridley turtle CPUE approx. 7 (per 1,000 hooks)
42 Experimental Design Two boats fishing within same general area sets/ boat (1 trip/boat) Treated or untreated squid randomly determined Ideally, treated and untreated # days equal Statistical tests will be done to determine mahi mahi CPUE and turtle BPUE by treatment.
