• Description:
  "This report provides incidental take estimates for five marine mammal species observed taken in the 2009 New England sink gillnet (NESG) and Mid-Atlantic gillnet (MAG) fisheries and documents the methodology used to produce the estimates. The estimated incidental takes in the 2009 NSEG fishery were 43 (CV = 77%) common dolphins (Delphinis delphis), 591 (CV = 23%) harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), 1063 (CV = 26%) gray seals (Halichoerus grypus), 516 (CV = 28%) harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and 415 (CV = 27%) harp seals (Phoca groenlandica). For the MAG fishery, the estimated 2009 incidental takes were 201 (CV = 55%) harbor porpoises, 70 (CV = 69%) harp seals, and 47 (CV = 68%) harbor seals"--Abstract.
