To assess the conservation status of protected populations and enable effective mitigation for endangered species, we must first estimate the proportion of a population that is being removed by fisheries as bycatch ... Typically, this is achieved by first assessing the bycatch rate through on-board observations by dedicated scientific observers, then extrapolating observed bycatch levels to include the total fishing effort within a population's range or management area.
