Incidental mortality is the death of non-fish species during the course of fishing. For instance longline and trawl fisheries can cause the death of seabirds which are attracted to the fishing vessels. Mitigation measures can be put in place to reduce this problem and have been very successful in some cases, such as the Southern Ocean Patagonian toothfish fisheries.
