Description:This report provides bycatch estimates, calculated using mortality and serious injuries combined, for 8 common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) assigned to 4 Atlantic coastal migratory and estuarine stocks. Fisheries observers documented incidental bycatch (takes) of dolphins during mid-Atlantic gillnet fishing operations from 2014-2018, estimates of which are documented in this report to support the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico 2020 marine mammal stock assessment reports. These estimates provide an update to the Lyssikatos and Garrison (2018) report that covered mid-Atlantic gillnet fishing operations from 2011-2015.
