LED fishing nets could save turtles and dolphins

Research by Prodelphinus shows that using LED lights on fishing nets can reduce the bycatch of critically endangered species by over 70%. The study, conducted between 2015 and 2018, involved small-scale vessels from Peruvian ports. LEDs were placed every 30 feet on 864 gillnets, paired with unlit nets for comparison. Results showed a significant reduction in bycatch of green turtles, loggerhead turtles, olive ridley turtles, and small cetaceans like dolphins and porpoises. Additionally, LED lights reduced seabird bycatch by 85% without affecting the commercial fish catch.

What percentage of small cetaceans captured were long beach common dolphins?

Did the modification of light in the nets affect the amount of commercial catch for fishermen?
