Protected-species interactions and non-target bycatch as a share of pot lifts. Baited pots are passive, selective gear, so the overwhelming majority of lifts bring up target lobster and little else.
Pot fishing is among the most selective wild-capture methods, with very low rates of non-target bycatch and protected-species interaction compared with trawl or net gear.
IMAS Tas Fisheries ↗Low, well-documented interaction rates are central to the fishery’s clean reputation and its export and certification credentials. Recording every interaction, however rare, is what lets the fishery prove its selectivity rather than merely assert it.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Record every interaction, however rare, for a defensible record.
Use gear configurations that minimise entanglement risk.
Report and adapt quickly if any interaction hotspot emerges.
