Definition from Fisheries Glossary:
Part of a catch of a fishing unit taken incidentally in addition to the target species towards which fishing effort is directed.

  • The scale of this mortality is such that bycatch in some fisheries may affect the structure and function of marine systems at the population, community and ecosystem levels. Greenpeace
  • The standard mandates minimizing bycatch to the extent practicable and minimizing mortality of unavoidable bycatch. Louisiana Fisheries

piezveja


Definition from Baltijas Vides forums/visitbalticsea.net:
Piezveja ir visa jūras radība, kas nav zvejas mērķsuga. Piezveja biežāk notiek gadījumos, kad netiek izmantoti selektīvie zvejas rīki. Par piezvejas upuriem visbiežāk kļūst jūras zīdītāji - pelēkie un pogainie roņi, kā arī putni – visbiežāk nirējpīles. [...] + Tomēr citas sugas, kā, piemēram, Stellera pūkpīle (Polysticta stelleri), ir ļoti retas un stingri aizsargājamas. Tām katra piezvejā nonākusi pīle ir kā maza traģēdija visai vēl atlikušajai populācijai.

Example sentence(s):
  • EN by-catch, bycatch Definition: that part of the catch which is not the targeted species but which may be retained for sale FR: prises accessoires; capture accessoire DE: Beifänge LV: piezveja - Eurovoc, 4.2  
  • Daudzos gadījumos ir noteikts minimālais procentuālais piezvejas apjoms no kopējās nozvejas, kuru ir atļauts paturēt uz kuģa, jo no nejaušas piezvejas pilnībā izvairīties nav iespējams. - Valsts zivsaimniecības pārvalde
