Abstract

This publication offers an overview of historical and current trends in depredation by marine mammals in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and contiguous Atlantic area, with the aims of assessing and improving: • the information available on the dolphin populations involved in depredation; • knowledge of the typology of current fishing practices that lead to depredation events (e.g. fisheries behaviour, fishing area, main commercial species predated, seasonality); • knowledge of the dolphin behaviours associated with feeding on fish captures and dolphins’ selection of particular types of fishing gear; • the information available on the reported economic losses caused by dolphin–fisheries interactions; the information available on the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) populations involved in depredation; and • the regional magnitude of depredation.
