It can include fish, marine mammals, seabirds, turtles, and other marine life. Bycatch can be accidental or intentional. Accidental bycatch occurs when non-target species are caught in fishing gear intended for other species. Intentional bycatch occurs when non-target species are caught for commercial or recreational purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Bycatch is a major problem in the fishing industry. It can have a significant impact on the populations of non-target species, and it can also lead to the death of animals that are released back into the wild. There are a number of ways to reduce bycatch, including using selective fishing gear, changing fishing practices, and implementing catch-and-release programs.<\/p>\n<p>Option a) Target fish species are the fish that fishermen are trying to catch. Option c) Juvenile fish are young fish that have not yet reached maturity. Option d) Predatory fish are fish that eat other fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Target fish species&#8221; option2=&#8221;Non-target species&#8221;
