Bycatch is regarded as one of the most serious conservation issues confronting the fishing industry. Bycatch is commonly used to refer to the total catch of non-target species. This definition, however, may mislead many because it excludes undersized individuals of the target species and spoiled fish species discarded by fishers at the fish landing site. This photograph is an excellent example of such a scenario. While walking along the beach, one of our team members collected these species tossed away by a fisherman. Food security and fishers' livelihoods would be jeopardized if bycatch and discard levels remained high. If it is not addressed properly, there will be no fish in the sea. Hence, this is a high time for small-scale fishery cooperatives to maximize long-term community benefits by addressing the challenges related to bycatch. One such solution is converting unsustainable fisheries into more sustainable ones. Hence, we strongly encourage research on this aspect with support from government bodies and conservationists.
