Description:Bycatch of marine mammals, sea turtles, and seabirds in the California thresher shark / swordfish drift gillnet fishery from 1990 to 2021 is estimated with random forest classification and regression trees. Tree estimates are compared with annual ratio estimates using the same observer data. Biases associated with ratio estimators (systematic under- and overestimation of bycatch) are notable when observed bycatch is rare, when each annual bycatch estimate is informed only by data from the same year, and observer coverage is low.
