Description:
Article Discards from fishing vessels are food for scavenging species, so ending the practice may have ecological consequences. Here, Heath et al . show that improving selectivity so that unwanted fish are not caught, achieves conservation benefits, while simply requiring that vessels land their entire catch, does not.
